Colorado Springs police are investigating after a woman was shot in Garden of the Gods Park late Sunday in an apparently random attack.
Investigators say the woman was shot about 11 p.m. as she rode with her husband through the park on a motorcycle.
Police say she was shot after an “unknown motorist” began following the couple.
“At some point, (the woman) felt a burning sensation on her back,” police said. “When the victim and her husband arrived home from their ride, he checked her back and discovered wounds consistent with being shot.”
Police say the woman is expected to survive. Both the woman and her husband were unable to give definite suspect descriptions, according to police.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call police at 719-444-7000.
