A grueling five-hour standoff between Colorado police and a gunman holed up in a Planned Parenthood clinic ended with a police officer and two others dead, nine more wounded and the shooter in custody, police said Friday.
The slain officer was identified as Garrett Swasey, 44, a six-year veteran with the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.
The names of the two civilians killed in the Colorado Springs shootout weren’t released as of late Friday night, while a law enforcement official identified the gunman as Robert Lewis Dear of North Carolina. Dear, 59, also has a Colorado address.
Swasey, the fallen officer, was married with two children, and he was active in the Hope Chapel Church, according to the church’s website.
