Manitou Springs police were called to a residence in the area of Deer Path Avenue and Oklahoma Road around 7 p.m. Tuesday, according to a news release from the city of Manitou Springs.

A man is facing attempted murder and assault charges after an apparent "marital or relationship-related issue" turned violent Tuesday in Manitou Springs, according to police.

Police were called to a residence in the area of Deer Path Avenue and Oklahoma Road around 7 p.m., according to a news release Wednesday from the city of Manitou Springs.

Police said a man arrived at the victim's residence southeast of downtown Manitou and stabbed him in the neck in the driveway. The resident then shot the suspect twice in the stomach and chest and called 911.

Both men were hospitalized and are in stable condition, according to police.

Police said the suspect will be booked into the El Paso County jail after he is released from the hospital.

The shooter will not be charged because detectives determined he was acting in self-defense.

Anyone with information can call police at 719-390-5555.

All suspects are to be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
