No people were injured in a shooting early Saturday at an apartment north of downtown Colorado Springs, but it might have been deadly to a family of fish.
Colorado Springs police said an aquarium was destroyed by three bullets shot from a pistol carried by one of the two men who forced their way inside an upstairs apartment in the 3200 block of North Chestnut Street at 3 a.m.
The men threatened the occupants and fired through the floor of the apartment into the lower unit, striking the fish tank but missing a couple and their baby, police said.
Police said no arrests have been made, though, because witness stories conflicted. The incident remains under investigation.
