EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) — One person is dead and four people are in the hospital Sunday, after a shooting in the Meridian Ranch neighborhood in unincorporated El Paso County. The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office (EPSO) briefly placed the neighborhood under a shelter in place Sunday morning, as deputies investigated the shooting.

EPSO says they received multiple 911 calls of shots fired at the 12200 block of Point Reyes Drive around 12:50 a.m. Sunday morning.

When they arrived, they found multiple people shot. They transported five people to local hospitals, where one died from their injuries.
