Colorado Springs Police say two people were shot Wednesday Night on the 2200 Block of Robin Drive, near the intersection of Constitution Ave. and North Union Blvd. Police say the shooting happened during an attempted robbery.
Springs Police say the two victims were parking their car in an alley behind a home on the block just before 10:00 p.m. Wednesday night when they were approached by two hispanic males.
The male and female victims say the men asked them to borrow jumper cables for their car and then proceeded to pull a gun on the couple. The victims refused to give the men any cash and were then shot by the suspects.
Springs Police report that two shots were fired, one hitting each of the victims. Police say the wounds were luckily glancing, superficial wounds to the male's back and the woman's stomach. The victims did not have to be transported to the hospital.
The victims reported that the suspects drove away in a light colored car, possibly a light-blue colored Dodge Intrepid.
