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 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.

Thanks to the other readers whose comments clarified this story. But I wonder if any KKTV management has noticed the dissatisfaction expressed by the readers of this web site? All of our comments probably fell on deaf ears AGAIN.
