Three young adults arrested after shooting at Monument home

MONUMENT, Colo. (KRDO) - Three people are charged with attempted murder in Monument after investigators say a house with a 1-year-old baby inside was targeted in an early Saturday morning shooting, leaving the home riddled with bullet holes.

The shooting took place in the Jackson Creek neighborhood on Dawson Creek Drive. After police responded to the scene, they found multiple bullet casings in the middle of the road. However, no injuries were reported according to police.

Kendra Tolowski, a resident of the affected home, initially believed someone was banging on her door around 3 a.m. She later discovered that bullets had flown inches from her head, leaving her scared to sleep in her bed again.

Her son, Richard Tolowski, told investigators he suspected his ex-partner was responsible. In court documents obtained by KRDO13, Richard reported that he had been receiving threats from his ex, Madelyn Chipman.

He reflected on the potentially devastating outcome, stating, "We could have lost everything. My mom is the one that holds this whole family together, and she's been doing that for years. If we would've lost her that night, I don't know where we would be right now."

Furthermore, Kendra Tolowski provided the following statement:

My family and I are incredibly thankful to be alive after what happened at our home. This has been one of the most traumatic experiences we have ever gone through, especially for the children who were inside the house when the gunfire happened.

I also want to address some of the rumors and misinformation that have been spreading on social media. Contrary to what some people have claimed online, neither I nor my family are drug dealers, nor do we have affiliations with any known drug dealers. We are also not affiliated with gangs or any gang-related activity whatsoever.

I have lived in the Monument area since 2016 and have spent years building a life and raising my children in this community. We are a normal single-parent family trying to live our lives, work hard, raise our children, and be part of this community just like everyone else. I work as a parent care provider for my son, who has significant medical needs, and my entire focus has always been taking care of my children and keeping them safe.

What happened was terrifying and deeply personal to our family, but it does not define who we are. I respectfully ask the public to allow law enforcement to continue their investigation and to avoid spreading rumors that only add more pain to an already difficult situation.

Most importantly, I want to thank the Monument Police Department, the Colorado Springs Police Department, and the responding officers who acted quickly and professionally. I truly believe their rapid response helped protect my family and move this investigation forward quickly.

Right now, our focus is healing, supporting our children, and moving forward together as a family. And to ensure accurate information is being provided to our community.

Authorities have since arrested Chipman, along with Camden Baker and Caleb Sapp, in connection with the shooting.

Monument Police also confirmed that a fourth individual was involved in the incident, but this person has not yet been named or apprehended.
