COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs Police are investigating a shooting that left two men in the hospital.

Police said three suspects broke into a home located on the 2400 block of E. St Vrain St. around 10 p.m., Monday.

A male resident who was in the house at the time of the break in confronted the suspects, reached for a firearm and shot two of the three men.

The suspects escaped on foot. The two suspects suffering from gunshot wounds were only able to run one block, before their injuries forced them to stop.

The two injured suspects were transported to a local hospital, where they are receiving medical treatment. One is in stable condition, the second one remains in critical condition.

The third male suspect escaped. Police continue to search for him but they do not have a description at this time.
