Man found dead in a Colorado amusement armed to the teeth.
« on: October 30, 2023, 09:15:33 PM »
Appears he snuck in while it was closed and that while waiting for the park to open he changed his plans and decided to off himself before carrying out his planned shooting leaving an odd note written on the women's restroom .

The note: "I am not a killer, I just want to get into the caves."

Well, at least he reversed the murder-suicide order of operations.

These assault weapons are getting so lethal, now they kill their owners before they have a chance to kill anyone else.

The discovery of the man – identified as Diego Barajas Medina of Carbondale, Colorado, by the Garfield County Coroner’s Office – came three days after a shooting rampage in Maine that left 18 people dead became the deadliest of more than 580 mass shootings this year in the United States.

Quote
He was “armed with a semi-automatic rifle and semi-automatic handgun and multiple, loaded magazines for both weapons,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement. “He was wearing body armor and what appeared to be a ballistic helmet. Additionally multiple improvised explosive devices, (IEDs), were discovered with the suspect and in a vehicle associated with the suspect.”

Note they didn't say "AR-15 style"

GHOST GUNS!
Just in time for Halloween
Quote
At least two weapons Medina had were ghost guns, Vallario said. Ghost guns are kits that a user can buy online to assemble a fully functional firearm. They have no serial numbers, do not require background checks and provide no transfer records for easy traceability.

Now he's a ghost

That is a comment I am seeing.  He may have just been crazy, but it almost looks like there was some outside influence pushing him into the act. 

And what the hell are the "caves"?

I wonder if it's some sort of game reference?

Yeah, you got to give him a thumbs up for that.

Now, waiting for the next copycat.  There is bound to be one or two more wanting to get media attention.

Reminded me of this joke

Woman walks in on her husband holding a gun up to his head.
She starts laughing.
He yells, "don't laugh, you're next"

And that reminds me of this movie scene:
