Police say a man shot and killed 3 people before opening fire on officers Saturday morning.
It began with a shots fired call at around 8:45 a.m. in the 200 block of Prospect Street just east of downtown, police said. Police say one person died at that location.
The exact timeline of events after that has not been confirmed by investigators, but we know that a bicyclist was found shot to death on Prospect Street. Two women were also shot, apparently by the same man, in the area of E. Platte Ave. and El Paso St.
Police later found the suspect near Platte Avenue and Wahsatch Avenue. That is where police said he opened fire on officers. Police shot back, killing him.
Ross Trottier was caught between the suspect and officers, he says he'd be dead right now if he hadn't made a quick decision to lie on the ground. "The cop pulled up and said drop your gun and as soon as I heard that I got on my stomach in the median and they started shooting at each other and the bullets went over me," Trottier said.
Deputies said the suspect had multiple weapons on him. An early investigation shows possibly four Colorado Springs police officers fired at the suspect.

I don't think the dead suspect has been identified yet. Running around in broad daylight with multiple weapons in Colorado -- brazen asshole.
