Robert Lewis Dear, a 57-year-old from North Carolina, has been named as the suspected gunman behind a standoff at a Planned Parenthood health clinic in which three people died and nine were injured.
After he was named, Barack Obama said on Saturday the US had “to do something about the easy accessibility of weapons of war on our streets to people who have no business wielding themâ€.
“Period,†the president added, in a statement released by the White House. “Enough is enough.â€
Officials speaking off the record gave the suspect’s identity to news outlets late on Friday. On Saturday morning, the city of Colorado Springs confirmed Dear’s identity and released a booking photo taken at the El Paso County criminal justice center.
Early reports portrayed Dear as a loner who lived in a rural cabin and did not noticeably discuss issues such as religion or abortion. Motive therefore remained unclear in the attack, which police said on Friday was carried out with a “long gun†– usually a reference to a rifle or shotgun.
On Saturday, Colorado Springs mayor John Suthers told reporters authorities were not ready to discuss a possible motive for the shooting, but said people could make “inferences from where it took placeâ€.
Suthers said investigators had interviewed Dear but added wanted to learn more about him.
On Saturday, a police spokesperson said unspecified “items†left at the scene by the suspect had been “secured and and processed, and are no longer a threatâ€.
The crime scene perimeter around the Planned Parenthood clinic had been reduced significantly and those whose cars were parked in a grocery store parking lot nearby were able to take their cars home.

Gee, Obama didn’t waste any time. Did he even take time to offer official condolences to the victims and their families?
Enough is enough! Bring back the funny farm. Dang that was simple!
I say enough is enough...Impeach the POS.

Millions of abortions...normal.
Thousands upon thousands of single parent families...normal.
Godless public places...normal.
Trillions of dollars of national debt...normal.
If God ever shed His grace on us I pray He will forgive us our trespasses.
I agree. Enough is enough. It is time for Obama to go.
I still need an explanation why an insane woman ramming her car into a homecoming parade, killing onlookers doesn’t interest Obama in confiscating my car but an equally loony tunes man in Colorado shooting police and PP patients proves I must give up my pistol.
