COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs Police officers said they were forced to stun one man and pepper spray another after the two became violent with them Sunday morning.

According to officers, someone called them about a shooting at the intersection of Bijou Street and Limit Street in the city.

When officers arrived, they found 21-year-old Joseph Prunty and 20-year-old David Prunty in the area. Joseph became verbally and physically aggressive, and officers stunned him. David, Joseph's cousin, then became hostile and was pepper sprayed.

Both men were served summonses for obstruction, but officers did not say if they were related to the shots fired call.
