COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - The man who killed four people at a church and missionary training center died of a self-inflicted shotgun wound, police said Tuesday.
Matthew Murray, 24, was struck multiple times by a security officer at New Life Church Sunday but died after firing a single shot at himself, the El Paso County Coroner's Office concluded after an autopsy.

I've read no where in the past few days that he fired the last shot. What I've read was while he was down, he went for a (smoke) grenade, she told don't do it and she shot him again to stop the threat.A story credited to an unnamed source, as I recall. I don't think Assam mentioned a thing about that in her press conference. It's becoming clear that the MSM badly misreported this in their rush to get something onto print and screen.

Security guard is still a hero. Absolutely.

OK, I’m confused. The radio news has been saying AK47 (squawk), AK47 (squawk), like parrots and now he has a shotgun? Maybe I’m getting my shootings mixed up.

“costing her some sort of disciplinary action...”
She was fired and union arbitration backed the decision.

“This isn’t a video game. You only discharge a firearm at a living being if you have the intent to kill the target. All shots are “kill shots”.
That’s not true, in the movies they shoot the gun out of the perps hand while hanging upside down from a catwalk. I saw it. :)
To: dljordan
No, they are MAKING UP the story about the "shotgun" so that they can PRETEND that the lady officer who shot him DID NOT in fact stop him with a gun!
The LAST THING the leftmedia terrorists want is for ANYONE to begin to see that the Second Amendment might actually be of any use! They do NOT in any way want you to see that a small handgun stopped an individual with multiple hand guns AND an assault rifle! The Brady Handgun Control eliminate the Second Amendment group would be out of business...

“The security guard still stopped him”
Absolutely. She stopped him, which bullet ultimately killed him really does’t matter.
He would would have killed more people if not for her. And the guy that yelled at him to get his attention is a hero also.

Yeah I think it was a bus driver. She got off the bus and said something “derogatory” to him during an investigation.. he happened to tape it. She did not know about the tape.
Only reason I know this is because the idiots over at DU were making a big deal out of it already.. I wanted to see what their reaction would be to an armed person taking down a threat and sure enough.. they had dug up dirt on her already.
Oh well.. I could care less she is still a hero to me.

They got Katrina wrong, they got Clinton HQ wrong, they get a lot wrong in their rush to print rumors and hearsay. Nobody has denied that Miss Assam stopped the attacker. It was just Murray who finished off his own worthless life, is all.

I think the author of this piece, Judith Kohler, has an agenda. Check out this list of some of her work. She's a typical lib. But as a radical feminist, you'd think she'd be happy when a woman came out on top.

“...makes no sense...”
Remember that this guy is several beers short of a case. So what makes sense has NOTHING to do with what he “thought” before he went into that church.

Now I know Ms Assam is apparently humble and not very outspoken but wouldnt it have been part of her direct observation to see this POS off himself? You might also have noted misquotes of her in several stories, etc.
Before I heard this news, I had suspected the gunman might have offed himself...note that she says she "took him down" and she couldn't offer details of the incident because it was under investigation.

It seems like you may be right. Among all these threads is a link to a Greg Knapp interview with the other hero, the unarmed guy that rushed the gunman. His name is something french so I have an impediment for remembering it.
He said he has know idea what the media are talking about, because he and Jeanne stood over the shooter discussing the situation like they were “in the parking lot.”
