This morning, just before 6 AM, UCCS Dispatch received a call for service regarding shots fired in a dorm room on campus.

UCCS Police responded and gained access to the dorm room at 6:05 AM. They discovered two deceased individuals, each with at least one gunshot wound.

CSPD was notified at approximately 6:10 AM and responded to the scene to assist with initial scene security and assisting in the investigation.

The CSPD Homicide unit was notified and at the request of UCCS Police, assumed responsibility for the investigation.

We are in the very early stages of piecing together what happened. We are in the process of notifying family members of the deceased individuals. We don’t believe there is an ongoing threat to the community and we are investigating this as an isolated incident.

While the coroner will make the official determination of cause and manner of death, these deaths are being investigated as a homicide and continue to be an active investigation.

We won’t be releasing any further information at this time regarding the investigation into the circumstances of what happened. We are working diligently and looking at every possibility. We will release more information when appropriate.
