Sheriff's deputies say at least four people have been shot outside of a Colorado Springs church.
The conditions of the people shot outside the New Life Church were not known, El Paso county Sheriff's Lieutenant Lari Sevene said.
Lance Coles, a pastor at the church, told the AssociatedPress he received a report that a man was shooting at people in the church parking lot and that the gunman may have entered the church.
It was not immediately known whether the shootings were related to an earlier shooting about 70 miles away in the Denver suburb of Arvada.
There, two people died and two were wounded early on Sunday when a gunman opened fire in a dormitory at a missionary training center on the campus of Faith Bible Chapel.
New Life was founded by the Reverend Ted Haggard, who was fired last year after a former male prostitute alleged he had a three-year cash-for-sex relationship with him.
Haggard, then the president of the National Association of Evangelicals, admitted committing undisclosed "sexual immorality".
The church is one of Colorado's largest with about 10,000 members.
