Three officers are injured outside the reproductive health center, Lt. Catherine Buckley told reporters. Buckley said they don’t yet know the number of civilian victims or the severity of their injuries. The gunman is inside the Planned Parenthood office according to multiple reports and local police, but is not yet apprehended.
Officers responded in an armored Bearcat vehicle but have not yet secured the scene, according to the police department’s public twitter account.
Planned Parenthood has been under increased scrutiny since a deceptively edited video accused the organization of illegally selling fetal tissue. The charges were baseless but have been a rallying cry in anti-abortion circles and prompted lawmakers at the state and federal level to attempt to cut off funding. About a half hour after initial reports began to break on social media, the area is not yet secure. Police are instructing media to stay away from the area and set up shop about three-quarters of a mile down the road.
The suspect is being described on emergency radio channels as a white man in his 40s wearing a long coat and a hunting-type hat. Local media reports indicate the shooter may have fired on passing cars. The Planned Parenthood clinic is normally open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays, though it was not immediately clear if it was observing normal hours on the day after Thanksgiving. Federal agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms have joined local police and county sheriffs at the scene. Roughly two hours after emergency responders initially arrived at the Planned Parenthood, the shooter is still at large. Police previously said the shooter was inside the building, but now say they cannot confirm that location information. Multiple civilians have been evacuated from the building by police responders who continue to seek the shooter. Denver Post reporter Jordan Steffen says one woman who was hiding inside the Planned Parenthood building called her brother briefly, asking him to look after her children. He heard gunshots in the background, according to Steffen, and his sister hung up after about two minutes.
