A bullet became lodged in the driver’s side door of a car Sunday night following a shooting in southeast Colorado Springs.

Four people were arrested after the incident, which began about 10 p.m. Sunday. According to police, a man said he was driving on Airport Road near Circle Drive when someone in a maroon car shot at him. The bullet ended up in his driver's side door, police said.

A different person later told police that people in a similar car also pointed a gun at him.

An officer spotted a maroon car near Airport Road and Academy Boulevard and pulled it over, at which point one person ran into the nearby cemetery, police said. Police later caught the man, and said they found two guns in the cemetery.

Jesus Bezada, 19; Noel Rascon, 23; Ramon Espinoza, 20; and Eugenio Solorio, 18, were all booked into the El Paso County jail on suspicion of attempted first degree murder and felony menacing.
