2. What? This article says they hadn't

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2015/11/27/active-shooter-at-planned-parenthood-in-colorado-springs-police-and-fire-officials-say/

ATF special agents were among those who responded to the scene in Colorado Springs. Deborah Sherman of the FBI’s Denver field office said local authorities had not yet requested the agency’s assistance.

9. Thank you. There are rumors and inaccuracies, am trying t double check

Not saying you are passing rumors of inaccuracies, just that they are common during and shortly t after events.

10. Pay attention to the spin

This was a major attack on Planned Parenthood.

[yyes]

11. Not confirmined yet but it looks like it might not have been the target

This might be a bank robbery and he ran into planned parent hood after it went bad

[Rex]

12. So he traveled 1/4 a mile to the PP? That is a big distance to cover.

Must be fleet of foot.

3. I think its in a bank

which might explain why the FBI would be involved.

4. NO it is the Planned Parenthood building

THe headline on GEM$NBComcast is Active Gunfire at Colorado Planned Parenthood.

They are finally admitting it after Colorado Police called for FBI help - this is going to be very bad.

13. I just read that the bank in question is a quarter of a mile away from the PP.

So if he was robbing the bank, he sure did cover a lot of ground fast. It looks far more likely that he attacked the PP facility.

6. USA Today reporting the shooter is inside the Planned Parenthood building

COLORADO SPRINGS — A man wearing hunting gear and armed with a long gun was barricaded inside a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs Friday after repeatedly opening fire on police, injuring three officers and an unknown number of civilians, police said.
