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.

Let us not forget that Mainstream Media intentionally paints anti-abortion activists in the harshest light. MSM goes to great lengths to polarize the issue.
Well, since you insist, let us two reasonable people discuss this. Point one: that is not paint, that is people with guns and firebombs, people shouting and spraying spittle on sidewalks, threatening others. Point two: this issue is not polarized, it is over. Abortion is legal. It is part of the right to privacy, and you sticking your Runaway nose into it is illegal. OK, rational discourse finished. Carry on. But the rational people have already left the discussion.

Number of babies butchered by PP - millions.
Number of abortionists killed by conservatives - couple dozen?
I'd say that your side is winning. Oh - it's not over either. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/11/13/us-usa-court-abortion-idUSKCN0T229F20151113 [reuters.com]
Or, do you think that it's alright for a non-doctor, or even a doctor without admittance rights at a local hospital, to insert hands and instruments inside of a person's body? Like the Texas legislature, I believe that if a doctor is going to perform intrusive procedures on anyone, he should be only steps away from emergency trauma personnel and equipment.
On the one hand, PP claims to be concerned over the health and welfare of women, but on the other hand, it's terribly expensive and inconvenient to insist that a doctor performing intrusive procedures be held accountable for any unforseen emergency. How do you spell "hypocrite"?
