COLORADO SPRINGS — A shelter in place order in the eastern part of Colorado Springs has been lifted. This is after the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) arrested a man that was barricading himself inside the Emory Apartments, which are located near the intersection of Galley Road and North Murray Boulevard.
Police first issued the shelter-in-place around 11:00 p.m. Monday. The hours-long order was finally lifted around 5:00 a.m. Tuesday. Police say they launched pepper spray into the apartment unit, leaving a noticeable hole in the apartment window.
According to CSPD, the man is 28-year-old Nicholas Shores, who has been charged with felony menacing. Police say the original call was for a man, later identified as Shores, menacing one of his neighbors with a firearm.
