Gunman kills 3 in US Planned Parenthood clinic

International Desk: At least three people including a police officer were killed when a gunman opened fire at a Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic in US on Friday.

 

Nine individuals, including five police officers, were also wounded in the incident.

 

The suspected gunman is Robert Lewis Dear, 59, a law enforcement official told media. The official did not provide additional information.

 

Police captured the gunman, but they`re still working to pinpoint his motive -- and make sure he didn`t leave any explosives inside or outside the Colorado Springs building.

 

Bomb technicians are investigating what`s believed to be the suspect`s vehicle in a parking lot, a law enforcement official said.

 

It was not immediately clear why Planned Parenthood was the target of the shooting.

 

One Planned Parenthood official said the motive behind the attack was unknown, but pointed to what she called a `poisonous environment that feeds domestic terrorism` as a possible cause.
