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.

How embarrassing for the Minneapolis PD. They fired the only cop they had that actually stops crime.....

The volunteer security woman is still a big hero for facing an armed man and protecting the congregation. After this, churches and synagogues, as well as malls, etc. should formulate or review their security plans. I suspect we will see jihadists imitating this crazy in the near future.

I am sitting here at work listening to Rush and the news just came on and announced this story. They played a clip of the female “security guard” and THEY CUT HER OFF BEFORE SHE SAID ‘GOD’”

She really said: “It seemed like it was me, the gunman and God”

Noooo, there’s no bias against Christians on the national media.

I doubt he would have killed himself, had he not run into someone with a gun, that was determined to prevent him from killing any more. They commit suicide, once they know the rampage is all over.

Okay, when will they get the story straight? Yesterday he was carrying an assault rifle and two pistols. Now he had a shotgun, too?!

Did he carry all this in his assault wheelbarrow?

Somebody here is full of crap!

In armed combat it is not unheard of for someone to shoot themselves accidentally after they have been shot. This sometimes happens when they fall on their weapon and it discharges. If this assailant was being hit by the security guard’s rounds it seems to me the reflex would be to shoot back, not shoot himself. But I wasn’t there.

I was thinking that ‘as a former cop’, she was close enough to him for a kill shot and familiar enough with guns and shooting to make one if she wanted to... that’s what I meant.

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”.

It strikes me that this fact will give her peace. She took him out. He killed himself. She doesn’t ever have to deal with thoughts that she did take a life.

Coming at this purely from a woman’s perspective here . . .

“I’m sure by week’s end she’ll be completely and utterly eviscerated by the MSM.”

Every MSM outlet is dying to get an interview, and several already have.

Then, by week’s end, they will claim she did it all to gain publicity.

In the ME they have suicide bombers, - we seem to be getting a lot of suicide shooters in this country. Guys who go out and shoot as many people as they can and then blow their own brains out..
What's up with that?

I remember a few years ago a couple in Colorado killed a popular local policeman that had just moved his family there from California. It was winter and there was a large hunt for the killers that were not found.
Then come spring some hikers found the two with bullets in their heads - supposedly they killed themselves, not too sure of that, either way, it was a good ending to the story.

“The security guard still stopped him.”

Absolutely. There is nothing that slows down an offensive assault, like taking incoming rounds.

Like putting a hard defensive rush on the quarterback.

The MSM template will now be that the armed civilian shooting him had nothing to do with his stopping his attack and shooting himself in the head.

Headshot? Shotgun?

Lights out.
