4 SHOT, not 4 dead. Unless there’s something new in the last 20 mnutes. There’s one dead, 3-4 hospitalized, plus the dead perp.

they’ve changed the count since I last read...earlier, they were saying 5 dead, which included the gunman.

This report, dated 12/10, says:

Meanwhile, police were investigating the other shooting about 65 miles away in Colorado Springs. A member of New Life Church was killed, Senior Pastor Brady Boyd said. The gunman in that shooting was shot and killed by a church security worker, Colorado Springs Police Chief Richard Myers said.

Four other people were wounded in the church shooting, authorities said. Arvada Police Chief Bob Wick said Sunday night that there was reason to believe the Arvada and Colorado Springs shootings were linked, though he didn’t elaborate. The mission training program has a small office at the church’s World Prayer Center on the New Life campus.

A gunman in a black trench coat and a high-powered rifle entered the church’s main foyer about 1 p.m. and began shooting, according to a source at the church who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the police department had asked that it release all information.

All congregation was allowed to leave the building, right? I haven’t read anywhere that the people were evacuated.

Was there a second gunman? If not, what was the FOX news reporting about hearing additional gunshots inside after the first gunman was killed?

This is a quote from a Rocky Mountain News article: Several of those who were at the center recognized the gunman — he had hung out at the center on Saturday, said Cheryl Morrison, whose husband, George Morrison, is pastor of the Faith Bible Chapel, located about 300 yards away.

Here is the link to the article.

It is confusing - there are 4 dead today in the CO church-related shootings. Two in Arvada and two in CO Springs.
