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.

Didn’t see this anywhere yet.
I guess when the bullets started hitting him, he knew the game was up. Was he wearing a vest, I wonder?
MSM can’t handle the truth!
Security guard is still a hero. No telling how many more people this guy would have shot before offing himself, if she hadn’t acted.
Perhaps his decision to self-inflict was influenced by having been hit already, in which case, the heroic deeds of the security guard remain heroic.
Although the story seems destined to be used by the MSM to diminish the guard’s actions.
That's what I'm thinking. Trying to make her look bad already as if she didn't stop him. Can't have her make the local police look bad either. She's still a hero in my book.
The security guard still stopped him.
MSM is already looking back at Jeanne Assam’s time as a police officer. Apparently, she lied about a particular incident with a truck driver she had pulled over, costing her some sort of disciplinary action.
I’m sure by week’s end she’ll be completely and utterly eviscerated by the MSM.
I don't know how they could spin this to diminish her actions, since she was the one that took him down. It's just he chose to end his life instead of being captured.
This guy is the Omaha mall shooter:
This guy is the Colorado Christian shooter:
Maybe there is a gene abnormality out there.
And I'll belive the guy killed himself when we have a bit more info than, "He shot himself".
Maybe she did not make any kill shots. Maybe she just wanted to disable him.
As a former cop, she'd know better than to do something as stupid as that.
Text Book case of the Random actor...
Yeah, if she couldn’t take him out she shouldn’t have had a gun and it’s lucky no one else was struck by her reckless aim...
</s off>
I thought this might turn out to be the case, but if the armed woman had not begun shooting at him, he would not have done it, at least not until he’d taken out scores more.
She did good. Very good.
I doubt that.

The very LAST thing the police in Colorado want is for folks to start carrying to protect themselves and others. The important to them is that THEY down play and discredit the hero.
That woman is a HERO in EVERY sense of the word and the police, politicians and gun grabbers will do whatever they can to shut this tale of heroism down!!!
