Following a lengthy standoff with police, the suspect in the shooting Friday at a Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs, Co. has surrendered to police and is in custody. His name and motive have not yet been released.

Eleven people, including a reported five police officers, were injured in the shooting. The standoff began a little after 11:30 a.m. local time and ended just before 5 p.m.

From NBC News:

The gunman walked out of facility just before 5 p.m. local time, and officers took him into custody, officials told NBC News.

Several more people were injured, with the total now at 11, sources familiar with the incident told NBC News.

Police said they could not immediately say whether anyone died.

"At this point I have as many questions as you do," Colorado Springs Police Chief Peter Carey told reporters before heading to the hospital to visit injured officers.

Police are still clearing the building, now a crime scene, to make sure several unidentified items that the gunman brought with him were not dangerous, police said.

The condition of any of the people transported to the hospital was not immediately known.

UPDATE: One officer shot has passed away.

Well that would be weird considering a picture was taken of cops taking someone into custody and he wasn’t black but he also looked homeless so not sure

Something I heard from the local conservative talk show hosts Saturday a week ago .....

Know why liberals don’t like Christmas? Because it’s about a birth, not an abortion.

He’s not black. He’s a white.

He probably could have gotten more cash from the PP with no dye packs to worry about...

Christy Tiegan tweeted that she will be giving more money to Planned Parenthood because of this, just proves what Judge Judy always said, beauty fades but dumb is forever. Abortion lovers hate anything that have to do with human life because they hate the fact that they were born..trust me, I hate the fact that they were born too

Better question would be how many babies did he save from being butchered?

It's a pretty safe bet that the answer to that question is zero. He certainly didn't save any babies by killing a police officer. And even if the civilian (or civilians - I've seen reports of two civilians dead) was an abortionist, the effect on the total number of abortions performed will likely be zero.

Not to mention that an incident like this will likely increase sympathy for PP, and possibly increase donations from PP supporters.

Well Planned Parenthood already came out and said that none of their staff or “Patients” were hurt so the two dead civilians were probably killed in the parking lot, supermarket, or bank

That would be interesting if confirmed because it does put more emphasis on something that started outside of PP and therefore had nothing to do with PP.

This event will get our jug eared, Marxist president more animated than any carnage inflicted by the religion of peace...don’t doubt it!

Sounds like this tragedy had nothing to do with PP, but this won’t stop Obama from chiming in condemning Christians who are pro-life.

Yeah they already said that no one from the PP office was hurt, and I did hear earlier that one was found dead near the supermarket..thats why I believe this was either someone who intended on robbing the bank, or someone who wanted to shoot up stores on black friday and ran into the PP office to hide

THAT would terrorise any leftist!

I know all that, and I agree, but I was saying, there are virtually NO Christians who are physical terrorists.

This shooter is not a terrorist. He is most likely a Black Friday Bungling Bank Robber or a crazy False Flag Leftist.

Also, usually at Planned Parenthood clinics that at least, conduct abortions, there are protesters on the outside. So, I don’t know if that one does perform abortions but the people shot it sounds like were on the outside. Not all of their clinics do abortions I gather.

Some people are light skinned, but are considered black. But I had just assumed this guy is white.

You don’t have to say “abortion provider” - you can say “abortionist.”
