A man fatally shot six other people including his girlfriend and then himself at a birthday party early on Sunday in Colorado Springs, Colorado, sparing the children who were present inside the trailer at a mobile home park, officials said. “The suspect, a boyfriend of one of the female victims, drove to the residence, walked inside and began shooting people at the party before taking his own life,” said the statement released by the Colorado Springs Police Department. “Friends, family, and children were gathered inside the trailer to celebrate when the shooting occurred,” the statement said. The shooting happened within the Canterbury Manufactured Home Community, a mobile home park of some 470 trailers and largely Latino residents on the southeast side of town, near the Colorado Springs airport, about 110 km south of Denver. Colorado Springs police chief Vince Niski said “my heart breaks for the families” in Sunday’s attack and promised to support them.
