In the early morning hours of October 31 the tranquility of downtown Colorado Springs was interrupted by multiple shootings in which three innocents were killed before Colorado Springs Police were able to kill the gunman in a shootout.
The Colorado Springs Gazette reported that just before 9 a.m. residents who heard the gunshots looked out their windows to see a man with a rifle. A 21-year-old witness named Matt Abshire said the gunman âshot a person on Prospect Street and two more near El Paso Street.â
Police had been called and arrived to confront the gunman just after he had shot the two individuals near El Paso Street. Once confronted, the man began to fire at police and was killed. No details on the gunman nor possible motives have been released.

Yes, and the reason Chicago has such high violent crime rates is because Vermont has lax gun laws.
At this point, it is almost a day later and they still haven’t identified the gunman. Not doing so should create suspicions that there is a reason the gunman hasn’t been identified.
I think that when such suspects are from a “protected class”, there will be an effort by the authorities to ‘cleanse’ their only existence to eliminate references to one religion in particular, gang affiliation, political affiliation, incriminating photographs, etc.
Because “We don’t want to reinforce stereotypes”, which is complete b.s.
And the media constantly screams for more gun laws.
"Still looking for YouTube Video to blame it on if TEA Party is not responsible.
Very good point.
Laws don’t stop criminals, cops stop criminals.
And if there’s not a cop handy, which there usually isn’t, you better be armed to stop ‘em yourself.
I wondered about that, too.
According to the US Census, Colorado Springs is 78.8% white, 6.3% Black, 1.0% Native American, 3.0% Asian and 16.1% Hispanic. Odds favor a bat**** crazy -- but why no ID?
Yes, how interesting no ID yet. When they want to, they can do an instant dump of almost every detail of a suspect’s life all over the media. This one is hush hush. Similar to a couple found dead in Kissing Camels neighborhood last week as well. No names, no info. Orwellian PC bureaucracies at work.
“...more and stricter laws, rules, regulations and restrictions are needed. Maybe make murder by firearm illegal.”
No, no, no. The killer was obviously a member of the NRA (National Rifle Association). :o) All that needs to happen is for the NRA to refuse membership to killers.
I read a few days ago that NO killer anywhere was a member of the NRA, so, actually, they are doing a good job of refusing membership to killers. However, that must be wrong because I heard Hillary say, in a speech very recently, it’s the fault of the NRA when people get killed.
Therefore, it can’t be both ways - either the NRA has killers as members or they don’t. The facts say they don’t. We must conclude Hillary is wrong, but we know she is never wrong, never takes responsibility for anything she says or does that is wrong (as in “illegal”).
Maybe make murder by firearm illegal.
they tried that one already.
That’s because criminals don’t obey laws shockingly.
Gun control advocates don’t want law abiding citizens to have guns, because they wish to control law abiding citizens via laws.
It really isn’t hard to understand.
A gun free zone?
Indeed.
How many people remember the murders of a newsreporter and her cameraman a month or so ago in Virginia?
The perp was a Black faggot, so the media dropped it quick.
But the phrase, “when seconds count, the police are only minutes away” applies. Cops - even before Obama and BLM tied their hands - can’t be everywhere.
However, an armed populace increases their own safety exponentially until the cops arrive.
Obamas excuse for “gun control” is exactly the same as was Hitler’s...people control.
One article says cops shot him about 20 times. That’s graveyard dead. He shot a man dead by a bicycle and then 2 women when leaving the first killing.
He made his final stand between Taco Bell and Wendy’s.
Of course he had an AR 15.
This story might work in to a pretty solid blues song.
Was it one of the ultra super high energy lethal kind or just the run of the mill AR?
They did not describe but it’s bound to a black assault weapon one
