The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) confirmed to KRDO13 that they are investigating a shooting in the 1000 block of Fontmore Road.
CSPD said one woman was found deceased at the scene with at least one gunshot wound.
According to police, the report came in just after 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, for a burglary at the Mountain Shadows Apartments.
Police say their investigation quickly pivoted, after they located the body of the woman inside one of the apartment buildings.
Residents who live on the third floor of that building say they were home all morning, but didn't hear any of the deadly shots that were fired, and that their security cameras caught nothing.
"I seen the police and I was like, what the heck?" said Sophia Kazmir, who says she was taking care of her granddaughter.
"We've never had anything like this. It's always been safe and around here." explained Kazmir, alongside her daughter, who lives just down the hall from her at the complex.
CSPD say they have identified a man as a person of interest.
CSPD says they do not believe this was a random act of violence, but rather a situation where the victim and suspect knew each other.
