COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A Colorado Springs Police Department officer is on administrative leave following a shooting Tuesday evening.

Officers said they responded to an apartment complex along Delta Drive around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday after receiving a call for a road rage incident involving a gun.

As officers were attempting to contact the suspect, they said a person opened the apartment door with a raised handgun that was pointed at officers. In response to this, at least one officer fired a round.

The suspect was later taken into custody without incident and was unharmed, according to police. No one was injured in the shooting as a result of the shooting, CSPD said.

The El Paso County Sheriff's Office will investigate this incident, as is policy. CSPD will have a significant event briefing 21 days from now releasing the body camera footage of the incident, also as is policy.

Nobody injured following an officer-involved shooting Tuesday evening says CSPD
