Case 1 :
ARVADA, Colo. - A gunman opened fire in a training center dormitory
for young Christian missionaries early Sunday after being told he
couldn't spend the night, killing two of the center's staff members
and wounding two others.
The shooting happened at about 12:30 a.m. at the Youth With a
Mission center in Arvada, a Denver suburb, police spokeswoman Susan
Medina said.
Authorities said no one had been arrested.
Case 2 :
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - At least four people were shot after a
gunman opened fire at a busy Colorado Springs megachurch on Sunday,
authorities said.
Colorado Springs police Lt. Fletcher Howard said a suspect had been
detained in the shootings at the New Life Church, but a source who
was locked down at the church Sunday afternoon said a security
guard had shot and killed the gunman.
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 the 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.
The church's 11 a.m. service had recently ended, and hundreds of
people were milling about when the gunman opened fire. Nearby were
parents picking up their children from the nursery.
The gunman was killed by a member of the church's armed security
staff, the source said. Four people were shot, and the source did
not know whether the shooter was one of the four. A SWAT team was
searching the building for an explosive device, but the source
could not confirm any details.
Howard, who had characterized the shootings as occurring outside
the church, declined to say whether the suspect had been
shot.
Three people were taken to Penrose Community Hospital in Colorado
Springs, where they were listed in critical, fair and good
condition, hospital spokeswoman Amy Sufak said.
It was not immediately known if the attack was related to an
earlier shooting in a Christian mission training program in Arvada,
a town about 70 miles away.
