COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Two suspects, two different Walgreens stores, two different outcomes.

Colorado Springs Police officers were sent to the Walgreens store located at Platte Avenue and Murray Boulevard late Sunday night after they received information that two suspicious people wearing masks and carrying what appeared to be handguns were hanging around outside the store.

Officers said just before they arrived, the suspects fled the scene after being spotted by concerned citizens.
