COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — At least four people were shot outside of a Colorado Springs church on Sunday, but it was not immediately known whether the shootings were related to an earlier shooting about 70 miles away, authorities said.

I wonder how many cases of anti-Christian violence do not get reported? Of course if multiple people die, they make the news.

But I'm thinking of an incident 4 or 5 years ago, where the church we attend in Ft. Collins (Timberline Church, with many thousands of members) had its brand new facility firebombed. Someone broke a window and threw in a homemade Molotov cocktail. Fortunately the flames went out soon, and the only damages were to an area of burned carpet, and some minor smoke damage. They told us about it during the morning announcements, but I never saw anything in the local paper.

More update from the mother of the two working at the church in CO Springs:

A few corrections...it was [Name]’s nephew that would have been in the room with the young fellow that was shot by the intruder at the YWAM dorm in the Arvada suburb of Denver. The nephew had gone into the city that night and stayed.

[Mother] just NOW called me as I began to write this update! She has been in regular contact with her daughter [daughter] in Colorado Springs in regard to the shooting at New Life Church. Some awesome information is coming forth. Paul’s sister is on staff at New Life Church and this information is current to the moment. Please continue to remember this situation as the news hasn’t released or hadn’t released up to this time the presence of possible multiple bombs around the church.

A single line in one report indicated that the bomb squad had entered the church. [daughter] just told her mom, that the reason the body of the shooter hasn’t been removed from the site is that it is suspected that he is “wired” to explode. A car the shooter was in was also full of bombs.

Another interesting piece of information: [daughter] has been doing bible study with a lady who is a police officer and a “sharp shooter.” Recently she felt led to contact the church and offer her services as a “security guard” because she felt that there was a risk of some looney doing something crazy. She was apparantely the one who killed the shooter.

WOW!! Our God is MIGHTY!! In the midst of what the devil may have planned to bomb a church full of people, GOD INTERVENED!!He spoke to one lady to volunteer her “sharp shooter services” as a security guard and prevented what might have been a much more serious tragedy!

########

PRAISE GOD FOR HIS FAITHFULNESS AND HIS KNOWING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING.

Bet you will wait a while to get the above from CNN.

You forget that rape is about having power over the victim and unless its rage so is killing another person.

You know, if he hadn’t just been put in federal prison for 3 years, SplodeyMan’s brother would’ve been the perfect suspect for this New Life shooting.

He was a student at Pikes Peak CC overlooking this church campus; had assault rifles; and even mentioned his conversations with Ted Haggard in his sentencing “opus,” although they may have been imaginary.

Will be interesting to see what the background of the dead perp was.

Something about this was in the news conference and/or posted somewhere in this thread.

Colorado, land of “gun-control.” Why am I not surprised.

How so? They get a "D" from the Brady Center. Sounds like a pretty good place to be to me.

I agree... I wonder if there is any connection there at all? I guess we’ll see what info. is released in the coming days. Right now there are so many conflicting stories it’s hard to get a clear picture of any of this — at least for me.

My friend got a prescription for the Sally Field product, picked it up, and then read the possible side effects.

She decided not to take it. Not even one.

Red, I agree with you on the fact that he did not know the name of the parishioner who was murdered.

He said he doesn't know the person because he is new to the church. There are 10,000 people there -- and he's been there for about 3 months. If Mr. Devil had bothered to listen to, and provide, the full quote there would not have been any misunderstandings.

There's a lot of wrong information around. There's no excuse for that bit of falseness, except perhaps carelessness and bias.

Wow, our OU bomber was from CO Springs, ya know. As I just posted to LibertyRocks, his mentally ill brother was just put in federal prison in October for threats to FBI agents, or I would have said he looked “good” as someone to check out for this shooting - but with the add’l bomb info, it’s really coincidental.

It all depends on what part of the state you’re in. Denver for instance is decidedly anti-gun, as is Boulder. I’m not all that familiar with CO Springs’ laws. All that despite having a very clear RKBA provision in the CO State Constitution...
