On Christmas Eve, a shooting occurred at the Citadel Mall in Colorado Springs, resulting in one person dead and two seriously injured. The incident stemmed from a physical altercation between two groups that escalated into gunfire. The fight initially started as a fistfight before turning violent. Police confirmed that it was not an active shooter situation and appears to be a targeted dispute. One man was found dead inside the mall, while two men sustained serious gunshot wounds, and a woman suffered minor injuries unrelated to gunshots. The injured individuals were taken to a local hospital. Multiple people have been detained, and the investigation is ongoing to determine if the shooter is among them. The situation is now contained, and there is no ongoing threat to the community. The Citadel Mall was closed for the night but is scheduled to reopen on Tuesday morning. The police are urging witnesses to come forward with any information related to the incident.
