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.

“Obama, after having his rear end handed to him by Putin...”
That ass kicking will seem mild compared to what will happen if he decides he can get away with any large scale confiscation.
Yeah, but only given the data the pols want you to have, you'd jump to the wrong conclusion--AND THAT SOB KNOWS IT.
417 more days of this f***carrot.
Sandy Hook would have been his move. He's doing nothing.
I (don’t) have a Ruger Redhawk. I (also don’t) have an NAA minirevolver. I (also never) purchased an AR. And I (would never be caught dead) possessing a Glock.
One thought, though: This is The Guardian, a British publication. In Britain, they think owning a single-shot .22 rifle is insanity.
hey quota boy, get you little berg of Chicago under control then maybe you have something to talk about.
But hey, there they have the harshest gun control laws in America and it still is a hell hole of black on black murder.
Your people there affirmative action fag.
