I believe I read the college is nearby.
It sounds as if Dear has mental problems from description of his neighbors.
Some details I’ve not seen, how long was he in Colorado Springs? Where was he living? Why pick here and not a PP in the Carolinas...does he have living family?
Yeah, all that taken together seems to indicate the whatever altercation occurred, it may likely have begun on the campus or very nearby.
I think PP was only where it ended...
But I could be wrong...If the guy is truly a nutter, none of it would make much sense.
If that is the case, then suicide by cop would make more sense, but he certainly failed at that..
This could be why they can’t seem to nail down a motive.
