Three people were injured in a shooting in Durango, according to the police department in the southwestern Colorado city. It happened on Tuesday night.

Police said officers responded to the shooting at 7 p.m. in the 2400 block of North Arroyo Drive. That's in a residential area in the northwestern part of the city, and authorities asked the public to avoid the area.

When officers arrived, they found three people with gunshot wounds. Each was taken to the hospital.
