COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs Police officers said a man is in the hospital with life-threatening injuries after being stabbed during an attempted burglary Monday morning.

According to officers, a 33-year-old man with a gun tried to enter an apartment on Mount Werner Circle around 11:48 a.m. There were three adults and a child in the apartment, and the gunman struggled with at least one of them before being stabbed.
