Two Arrested on Attempted Murder Charges After Colorado Springs Apartment Shooting
Police say a swift traffic stop recovered items tied to the gunfire plus a large stash of narcotics.
Overview
- Officers were called just before 1 a.m. to an apartment in the 300 block of University Drive near Airport Road and South Academy Boulevard.
- Residents told police an unknown woman pounded on the door, tried to force entry, and claimed she was looking for someone who does not live there.
- Multiple rounds were fired into the apartment, narrowly missing the homeowner and striking a wall near the 5-year-old’s bedroom, and the father returned fire with no reported injuries.
- Roughly 14 minutes after the call, an officer stopped a vehicle near East Boulder Street and Pitkin Street that matched descriptions, locating items linked to the shooting and a large quantity of narcotics.
- Police arrested Crystal Burke, 33, and Tristan Price, 40, who now face attempted murder, weapons offenses, and narcotics charges, and the investigation remains active.
