DENVER — A shooting at a birthday party in Colorado Springs early on Sunday morning left six people and the gunman dead, the police said.
Police officers responded shortly after midnight to a shooting at the Canterbury Mobile Home Park, where they found six adults dead and one man with “serious injuries,” the Colorado Springs police said. He was taken to a hospital, where he died.
The police said that a birthday party was being held for one of the victims in a home in the park and that “friends, family and children were gathered inside” when the shooting occurred.
The gunman, who was not publicly identified, was “a boyfriend of one of the female victims,” the police said. He drove to the home, walked inside “and began shooting people at the party before taking his own life,” the police said.
