Haha, I think Ginsue has it right. I believe that the ex-girlfriend broke into the apartment, and was shot by the ex-boyfried. It sounds like the ex-boyfriend had a female guest of his own in the apartment.

sucks to be a dumb bitch...
don't go shootin up an ex boyfriends place and not expect something. I've always said that!
Wife's mothers maiden name is Cox and she is originally from the springs. hmmm Yep I'm guessing plain old crazy 5150 on this deal guys.[ROFL1]
I have to wonder, What is the other woman thinking to herself?
"Damn, it was good, but it wasn't worth Dying over."
"Wow, he put three in me and still had enough to put one in the ex."
"So Honey, I think I am going to let you do whatever you want in this relationship with NO backlash, OK?"
feel free to add your own
:D
It should read....Quote:
The man who shot Cox and an adult woman were both in the apartment. Neither has been identified by police.

Correct...
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A Colorado Springs woman is the city's 22nd homicide this year, but the man who pulled the trigger may have been defending himself.
Cristen Ann Cox, 46, was killed at the Windtree Apartments on Paragon Drive at about 1 a.m. Saturday. Police said Cox showed up at her ex-boyfriend's apartment with a gun, then fired several shots at the lock on the door. They said Cox entered the apartment and then was shot by her ex-boyfriend, who was there with a woman.
Police said Cox died at the apartment from a gunshot wound to her torso.
Police have made no arrest, and said that the man and woman at the apartment have been cooperative with the investigation. CSPD will hand the case over to the district attorney's office for a final decision on whether criminal charges will be filed.
"Generally, we can make a fairly quick decision," said Dan May, Fourth Judicial District Attorney.
May can't comment yet on the case, but we talked to him about the state's Make My Day law.
"If someone breaks into your home and you think they're going to use any violence at all, you're allowed to defend yourself in any way you think appropriate, including deadly force," said May.
The law gives people much greater self-defense protections when they're at home.
"With the general self-defense law, you actually have to believe, 'They're about to kill me,' and you have to use the amount of force that's appropriate for the situation," explains May. "With Make My Day, you just have to believe, 'They're about to attack me,' is one difference. And the other is, you can use any amount of force you want."
May said the Make My Day law could still apply if an intruder doesn't fully enter a home.
"Even if you've just broken a screen door, you have broken into the home under Make My Day," said May
I don't understand what is taking so long.
EDIT: Well, I guess it hasn't even been a week yet. Carry on police.
well I am sure there is allot more paperwork and bureaucracy than the newspaper article tells us. :D
Good shoot
No question: She was obviously a threat, based on reckless indifference in shooting the lock(knowing there were people on the other side of the door). It sucks that someone had to die, but at least it was the aggressor.
