Suthers said, "The perpetrator is in custody. The situation has controlled and there ' s no continuing disaster to the citizens of Colorado Springs".
Earlier, there had been fears that the unidentified gunman might have explosives with him, and police were carefully combing the scene after the siege came to an end when he surrendered.
Speaking at the scene before the standoff ended, police spokeswoman Lieutenant Catherine Buckley warned that the gunman had taken "items" and bags inside the building with him.
A lot of people had been vacated from the clinic as the incident played out, but some were left inside with him, she had said, on what had been a regular working day at Planned Parenthood, a day after the Thanksgiving holiday.
Buckley said the shooter was armed with some kind of "long weapon" with a shoulder stock such as a rifle and some witnesses reported hearing automatic fire.
