Police arrested a gunman who stormed an abortion clinic in the central United States and opened fire with a rifle in an attack that killed three people and wounded nine others.<\/p>\n

The dead included one police officer and two civilians, Colorado Springs Police Chief Peter Carey told reporters after the suspect had been captured on Friday.<\/p>\n

The suspect was identified as Robert Lewis Dear, 57, from Harstel, Colorado. According to local KDVR-TV, he was previously a resident of North Carolina, where he had a arrest record. <\/p>\n

All nine surviving victims – five police officers and four civilians – were listed in good condition at area hospitals, Carney said.<\/p>\n

Dear – later seen in a white T-shirt, handcuffed, and led away by officers – first engaged in a protracted gun battle with police, but ultimately surrendered about five hours after the start of the violence.<\/p>\n

“This began to unfold at noon today after the gunman entered the building and began shooting. A five-hour stand-off then ensued,” Al Jazeera’s Jim Hooley reported from the scene. “Nine other people were shot and wounded. They’re in good condition.”<\/p>\n

The motive for the attack was not immediately clear.<\/p>\n

The Colorado Springs clinic has been the target of repeated protests by anti-abortion activists.<\/p>\n

It is owned by Planned Parenthood, a national non-profit group devoted to providing a range of reproductive health services, including abortions. <\/p>\n
