(Reuters) - Police in Colorado Springs cannot confirm reports that a gunman who shot and wounded several people near a Planned Parenthood clinic in the city on Friday was "contained," or rule out the possibility that hostages were taken, a police spokeswoman said. "We do not know if he is contained," Colorado Springs Police Department spokeswoman Lieutenant Catherine Buckley told reporters. Asked whether any hostages were taken, Buckley said: "There is that possibility." Her comments were broadcast on Fox News. (Reporting by Mohammad Zargham in Washington, editing by G Crosse)
