Colorado Springs police are releasing more information about a double-shooting Monday night that left two people in the hospital and a suspect behind bars.
The shooting happened just before 8 p.m. at an apartment complex on East Boulder, near Union. Police say the suspect, 19-year-old Joshua Vannatta, turned himself in after the shooting.
Police say the two victims, 19-year-old Amy Montoya and 26-year-old Richard Richardson, were taken to Memorial Hospital Monday night. Richardson was shot in the face and Montoya was shot in the right arm and chest.
Both are listed in stable condition.
Police are still piecing together what led up to the shooting. They say there were five people living in one apartment at the Boulder Manor Apartments and that an argument broke out. Police say one person involved grabbed a crowbar, while another, the Vannatta, grabbed a gun.

I am the elder brother of the alleged shooter, Josh Vannatta. I can tell you now, that lots of the facts that are posted here by KKTV are misinformed. My brother is serving 13 years now because of this and it was all in self defense. When he eventually gets out, posts like this will seriously hurt his chances to attain a job because of some falsified facts. People need to hear the entire story before they blow things out of proportion. I am seriously angered by the fact that my brother... now age 20, is serving this sentence. I will not be able to spend time with my brother for a long time now. I understand that the police were merely doing their job, and the judge passed judgment by what he believed was the just answer, but now... because of mere misinformation, my brother is behind bars and I won't be able to see him face to face for a very long time. God be with him.
THE MAN SHOT WAS RICHARD LASSEN RICHARDSON, HE IS MY DAUGHTERS BIOLOGICAL FATHER & I HAVE NOT HAD CONTACT W/ HIM IN OVER 8 YEARS..BUT I AM TRYING TO GET IN CONTACT W/ HIM SO TAHT HE CAN SEE HIS DAUGHTER ONE DAY..IF U CAN HELP PLEASE EMAIL ME katie.mccormack@agsaz.com... thanks :)
I can say with complete clarity that details on these are not always released to the media. Particularly when its questionable if juvenilles were involved or not. KKTV is excellent media, I trust them long before the only newspaper in town.
