Colorado Springs police received a call about a shooting just before 12:20 a.m. (2:20 a.m. ET), the department said in a news release.

Officers went to the Canterbury mobile home park, where they found six adults dead, along with a seventh person who was injured and later died at a local hospital.

Police believe the suspect drove to the home where a birthday party was taking place and opened fire before committing suicide.

No minor was injured in the shooting.

Police are investigating a possible motive.

"Words fall short to describe the tragedy that took place this morning," said Colorado Springs Police Chief Vince Niski.

“As a police chief, as a husband, as a father, as a grandfather, as a member of this community, my heart breaks for the families who have lost a loved one and for the children who have lost their parents.

"From the officers who responded to the shooting to the investigators still on the scene, we were all incredibly shocked."

Police have yet to release the names of the victims, pending notification of the families.

In a statement Sunday, the governor of Colorado.

Jared Polis said the shooting was "devastating, especially since so many of us are spending the day celebrating the women in our lives who have made us the people we are today."

"Broken families," he said, "and at a birthday party no less."
