SECURITY-WIDEFIELD — The El Paso County Sheriff's Office was searching for a suspect or suspects early Thursday morning tied to a shooting south of Colorado Springs.

As of 3:30 a.m., the search was still active but very few details were available. At that time the Colorado Springs Police Department was assisting in the search.

The sheriff's office tells News5 the reported shooting happened along Dove Creek Circle in the Security-Widefield area. The neighborhood is just southwest of Powers Boulevard and Fontaine Boulevard.

Our crew on the scene noticed Dove Creek Circle is closed south of Grand Valley Drive. The sheriff's office posted to social media they believe the shooting was an isolated incident.

It isn't clear what time the shooting occurred, but News5 will provide updates as we receive them.

Details on possible injuries were unavailable last time this article was updated and no suspect description was provided.
