Three people were killed and five policemen injured before a shooter at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado, was taken into custody on Friday.
He has been identified by police as Robert Lewis Dear, 59, reportedly from North Carolina.
Police Lt. Catherine Buckley told reporters that Colorado Springs police, El Paso County Sheriff’s Office and Colorado State Patrol “brought all of our resources to bear” against the shooter. The suspect, a six-foot tall white man wearing a trench coat and a hunting cap, used a “high-powered rifle” to fire at cops.
