Four police officers and an unknown number of civilians have been hurt in an "active shooter" incident in the US city of Colorado Springs, police say.
Officers were exchanging fire with a gunman inside a Planned Parenthood clinic, police Lt Catherine Buckley said.
It was unclear if hostages had been taken, she said.
The city's Penrose hospital said it had received six patients, but did not say whether they were civilians or police.
The situation was still active and roads were closed, the city's police said in a tweet.
"We do not have the shooter at this point but we do have all of our resources brought to bear," Lt Buckley told local TV.

Or it could be someone who is just fucked up about the way his life is going. Maybe his girlfriend had an abortion and then they broke up because they were fighting about it so he blames PP instead of accepting responsibility for managing his own relationship.
Its easy to go for the stereotype, but out of all the pro-lifers in the country there have probably been less than 5 cases of pro-lifers killing abortion clinic staff in the last 30 years.

That is almost funny. Women have the right to decide what to do with their bodies - and you judge a man for not "managing" his relationship with a woman? It almost makes it to funny, but the irony rubs the wrong way.

What mental state do you inhabit that you think you can draw any insight by nit-picking a single word and ignoring the context of the sentence it was written in?

The so-called context you speak of, suggests that a man should "manage" his affairs, along with his women-folk. That idea of "managing" his women comes straight out of the patriarchal societies that feminism denounces. You can't have it both ways here. Either women have the right to determine if/when they will bear children, or, men have a responsibility to "manage" the women in their lives. Make up your mind, and run with it.
