At approximately 5:33 PM this evening, Larimer County Sheriff’s Office dispatch received a 911 call from the trailer park located at 2025 North College in Fort Collins.

Reportedly, 4 gang affiliated males who are still at large attacked another 26 year old male who is believed to be affiliated with another gang. The 26 year old victim was stabbed multiple times and his family members transported him to Poudre Valley Hospital.
