COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – Homeowners in one Briargate neighborhood in Colorado Springs are still left in total disbelief after their quiet street was riddled with bullets and gunfire over the weekend.
One family’s 14-month-old baby was just one foot away from possibly being hit by a bullet, which lodged into the headboard of her crib, while others have damages to repair within their homes.
The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) says they are investigating the reports of the gunfire, and were on the scene just after 1 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 15, speaking with residents, collecting shell casings, and extracting bullets that were still intact.
Residents say they were told police believe it to be a random act of violence, however, there are no suspects at this time.
One homeowner told KRDO13 that a bullet that went through his neighbor’s house, flew into his baby’s room while she was sleeping, and lodged into the side of her crib, just 12 inches from where their head lay on the pillow that morning.
