Seven people died early Sunday when a man shot people at a birthday at a residence in Colorado Springs, according to police.
The Colorado Springs Police Department said they responded to a report of a shooting at 12:18 a.m. in the 2800 block of Preakness Way, which is in a manufactured home community along South Powers Boulevard.
Officers found six adult victims dead inside the residence. One adult victim was taken to a hospital where they succumbed to their injuries, police said.
