Murder-Suicide Leaves Seven Dead In Colorado

Early Sunday, seven people were fatally shot at a birthday party in Colorado — including the suspected gunman, who then killed himself, police said.

After midnight, the gunman–the boyfriend of one of the women attending the party–burst into the party and opened fire before shooting himself, the New York Post reported.

Officers were called to the Canterbury Mobile Park Home, where the party took place. They found six adults dead. A seventh was rushed to the hospital but was later pronounced dead.

None of the children attending the party were attacked.

“Words fall short to describe the tragedy that took place this morning,” Colorado Springs Police Chief Vince Niski said in a statement.

“As the chief of police, as a husband, as a father, as a grandfather, as a member of this community, my heart breaks for the families who have lost someone they love and for the children who have lost their parents,” the chief said.

“We ask the public’s patience with the investigation, and we seek the sensitivity of our media partners as CSPD completes a thorough investigation to provide the answers to the families and friends impacted by this tragedy, ” Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers said.
