Two December acquisitions helped Colorado Springs-based defense contractor Vectrus boost revenue and profits sharply during the first quarter, the company reported Monday.
Vectrus acquired HHB Systems, a Virginia-based defense contractor specializing in systems engineering and technical assistance that employs more than 50 people, and Zenetex, another Virginia defense contractor that specializes in providing management and technology services for federal and defense industry clients, both in December.

LOS ANGELES, May 10 (Xinhua) Six adults were killed early Sunday morning when a suspect opened fire at a birthday party in Colorado Springs, a city in the U.S. state of Colorado, police said, adding the suspect took his own life on the scene.
The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) said in a statement Sunday afternoon that they responded to a shooting call at the Canterbury Mobile Home Park at approximately 12:18 a.m. local time (0718 GMT on Sunday). Upon arrival, officers located six deceased adults and one adult male with serious injuries who was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries, the statement read.

That s because many businesses in the state s service sector are struggling to hire enough workers to handle the increased number of customers and sales now that many COVID-19 pandemic restrictions have been lifted.
