Per Denver radio, no - Arvada Police still have the investigation "active", so neither they nor the CSPD will release the name yet.
When they do, I hope the transmission gets garbled.
I’m in disagreement with the folks that don’t want the guy’s name released. While I don’t think he should get “national attention”, I DO think we need to know who he was and his motivation for this.
I do believe at this point this was the same shooter. The Colorado SPrings PD, with the help of Arvada PD served warrants on a home in the Denver area this morning. The home is “occupied” by a physician and his wife, and two sons “both in their 20s”.
Personally, I want to know who did this rather than leave him as some “nameless criminal”. There is more to this than is being released, and if they don’t let you know who it was, then the WHY of it can’t be ascertained. If you can’t do that, then if there are other, underlying reasons (anti-religion? Muslim-conversion? etc?) won’t be known. *I* for one want to know.
I think the names of the slain need to be made MORE public though.
