At least seven people were killed in a shooting in Colorado Springs. According to preliminary reports, a man – found to be the boyfriend of one of the victims – opened fire during a birthday party around 12.00 (local time). The agents, warned by the neighbors, upon arriving at the house found six dead adults and eight seriously injured. One of the injured later died in the hospital. In the calculation of the victims there was also the aggressor who would have taken his own life after carrying out the massacre.
At the party there were also several children who were spared by man. The motive for the violence still remains to be clarified. “Words fail to describe the tragedy that took place today – commented the local police chief, Vince Niski -. As a policeman, husband, father and grandfather, as a member of this community, I am heartbroken for families who have lost a loved one, for children who have lost their parents. “
Yesterday is the second shooting in less than two months in the state of Colorado. In fact, last March 23, in Boulder, a gunman walked into a supermarket and killed 10 people.
