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.

    Should people who work for polluting companies be killed?

    They do and they get positive press. The left won't outright encourage it but they adore violent revolutionaries so it is a wink wink, nudge nudge sort of deal. Blow up a SUV dealership, spike a few trees to maim some poor lumberjack and they will give you a Law and Order episode where you look like a hero.... ok an 'anti-hero' but the regulars will say lots of nice things about you and your dedication to a worthy cause and imply the victim deserved it.

    What about members of the military?

    Does the name Bill Ayers ring any bells? Or how about Nidal Hasan? One was in a gang that tried to blow up some American troops and couldn't handle explosives properly. The other committed 'workplace violence' against some with a bit more success. Both have their fanclubs among the left.

    > Both have their fanclubs among the left.

    It is pretty amazing how extreme partisans like yourself can turn an argument against violence into an attack on your perceived ideological enemies. It's like every post you make is nothing more insightful than, "Look at me, look at me! I hate liberals! Look at me!"
