Breaking: Four People Shot Outside Colorado Springs New Life Church
2007-12-09
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — At least four people were shot outside of a Colorado Springs church on Sunday, but it was not immediately known whether the shootings were related to an earlier shooting about 70 miles away, authorities said.

The conditions of the people shot outside the New Life Church were not known, El Paso county Sheriff's Lt. Lari Sevene said.

Two people died and two were wounded earlier Sunday when a gunman opened fire in a dormitory at a missionary training center in the Denver suburb of Arvada.

Fox TV news describes the shooter as "a white male in his twenties," same description as the Arvada perp.

Witnesses told police that the gunman was a 20-year-old white male, wearing a dark jacket and skull cap, who left on foot. He may have glasses or a beard.

The religion of peace attacking missionaries? I don't beleive it!

#4  Shooter didn't get to make the splash he wanted because New Life was not a "gun free zone". He killed one and injured four before he the floor opened and he was grabbed by shrieking demons who threw him straight into a firey pit.

#3  From the local news here in the springs...

3-5 wounded. No reports of deaths. Police are not confirming they have the gunman or if they were more than one shooter.

Hopefully everyone is not seriously hurt. I have several friends that go there and have been trying to contact them.

#2  Moved to local for now. Perp in the other shooting was described as a white male in his 20s wearing a beanie and maybe with a beard. One shooter down in the New Life Church shooting, one in custody. IEDs found in the car.

The initial odor is Islamic.
