Shooting Death From Saturday May Not Be A Crime

Colorado Springs Police Say Woman Shot While Entering Apartment Of Ex

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Colorado Springs Police say a woman who was shot and killed Saturday morning fired shots into the lock of the door at her ex boyfriend.

It happened at 2555 Paragon Drive in Colorado Springs.

Colorado Springs Police investigators have identified the victim as 46-year old Cristen Ann Cox of Colorado Springs. Police say the investigation revealed Cox fired a handgun into the lock of the door of her former boyfriend's apartment. According to police she then entered the apartment with the gun in her hand and the resident shot her one time. Police say Cox and the man had been involved in a previous relationship.

The man who shot Cox and an adult woman were both in the apartment. Neither has been identified by police.

Neither has been arrested and information regarding the investigation will be turned over to the district attorney's office, which will determine if any charges will be filed.

Police say an autopsy revealed Cox died of a single gunshot wound to the torso. Her death was ruled a homicide, however police point out that a homicide is not necessarily a crime.

Sounds like clear case of self defense...

Hey, that's pretty close to my neck-of-the-woods.

Stupidity kills.

Yup, sometimes stupidity actually is painful (response to the saying that stupidity should hurt).

I know that you were just pointing out the body of the 10 ton elephant we're all walking around, but it sounds like the woman who got shot got exactly what she came looking for. My take is that she had planned to do harm (i.e. KILL) her ex-boyfriend and would have more than likely killed the other woman as well.

If you go looking for trouble, you can usually find it.

As Will Smith's character in Men In Black said: "Don't start nothing and there won't be nothing."

Yes, I'm saddened than a human life had to be lost, but having someone willing to initiate a violent confrontation - with a firearm - walking free on the streets doesn't give me a warm fuzzy. The fact that she died is, sadly, probably for the best for our entire community.

Re-read Ginsue, all will become clear.

Yeah, so who is the other chick?

And when the say "Neither has been arrested and information regarding the investigation will be turned over to the district attorney's office, which will determine if any charges will be filed." does that mean they may arrest the dead chick? Are both of the women dead? Or are they talking about arresting the shooter and referring to him as Mr. Neither? Poorly worded story I'm thinking. Or am I just missing something?
