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.

    Oh, the horsemen are just saddling up!

    This is the endless human tragedy. We kill, then they kill, then we get nukes, then they get nukes, and we a have a bit of a cold war, with consequences to which our friendly local philosopher from Samos eluded.

    They commit crimes the Nazis at least had the sense to do in secret and they post the video to YouTube themselves.

    I find this disturbing as well. Why do they broadcast it so? Are they serious?

    I guess I'm awake at such an odd hour because I can't find them serious. Gas prices are at a low I haven't seen since I returned to Western civilization, since at least 2002. Daesh is known for making a profit by selling oil. That why I must repeat: the horsemen are saddling up, and this time it may be for the last time.

    Maybe I've been playing too much Fallout, but my mentat computer is going crazy. Something big will happen, and soon. I just checked Google News and nothing yet. We'll see, I suppose.
