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.

    "Active" as opposed to "Former" or "Captured". "Killer on the loose" and "Killer on the loose and still killing people" are 2 different things. Although given the nature of articles, it is fairly bad reporting to put such time sensitive information in the article, as it will shortly cease to be true.
