Update 4:50 EST: According to a press conference moments ago, police are currently exchanging fire with the shooter inside the Planned Parenthood facility.

November 27, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – While local news reports had indicated that a shooting took place “at” a Colorado Planned Parenthood facility at around noon, Mountain Time, police have now said that there is “no connection” to Planned Parenthood, in the wording of The Gazette, a local newspaper.
In a subsequent update, The Gazette reported that police “do not know” the connection between the shooting and Planned Parenthood, other than that that's where the initial 911 call came from.
The Gazette, a local newspaper, reports that a patient was shot at Elite Vision, which is located next door to the Planned Parenthood facility.
At least three police officers have also reportedly been shot, as well as an unknown number of others.
