A gunman who went on a shooting rampage in several locations around the Denver area, killing five people and wounding two, targeted his victims based on previous personal and business dealings, authorities said.
Lyndon James McLeod, 47, was also killed Monday night after he shot a police officer who confronted him in a busy shopping district in the Denver suburb of Lakewood.
[T]he gunman knew most of his victims but not the last person he shot — a clerk in a hotel in Lakewood’s Belmar shopping area. Sarah Steck, 28, who died of her injuries Tuesday, was apparently targeted because of a dispute with the hotel...
McLeod once owned a business in Denver called Flat Black Ink Corp. at an address that is now World Tattoo Studio...
The first shooting took place at a tattoo shop less than a mile (1.6 kilometers) from that address. Four of the victims, including three who died, were shot at two tattoo shops in the Denver area.
When officers spotted the car suspected of being involved in the shooting at the Belmar shopping area — where shops line sidewalks in a modern version of a downtown — McLeod opened fire and officers shot back, Romero said. He ran away and allegedly threatened some people in a restaurant with a gun before going to the Hyatt House hotel, where he spoke briefly with Steck, the clerk, before shooting her, he said.
About a minute later, the Lakewood police officer saw McLeod and ordered him to drop his weapon. She was shot in the abdomen but fired back at him, Romero said.

Wonder what his beef was with tattoo parlors?
Another wonderful person with tattoos plastered all over them 🤪
Now THAT is funny!
And really NOT inappropriate in a thread about a “grim Freeper”.
I think something got under his skin!
(Could not resist!)
RIP for the victims. God’s Grace comfort their families and friends!
Somebody had a tattitude it seems.
Nasty businesses...
Have you ever been in one?
Might as well go to an Asian owned massage parlor.
Filthy doesn’t even begin to describe it.

I was in Memphis and one of my co-workers got a Harley Davison tattoo.
Good thing the perp wasn’t black or BLM and Antifa would be burning down Denver now.
“I was in Memphis and one of my co-workers got a Harley Davison tattoo.”
How can anyone work in a tattoo parlor and not know how to spell that?
I can see someone getting a tat on a shoulder or even a butt-cheek as they did in the last century, but all over the face? Just creepy.
post it on here for all to see
Why? If he rode the lightning, he’s gone.
Oh dear!
Does everybody in Colorado think that they are Bill Hickock come back from the dead?
This dope was hard-core Incel.
