Colorado Gunman Killed Six At Party 'As He Was Once Now Not Invited'
Colorado officers say the gunman who killed six people at a birthday celebration at the weekend used to be upset that he had now not been invited.
Police say Teodoro Macias, 28, fatally shot his girlfriend, Sandra Ibarra-Perez, 28, and 5 spouse and children earlier than turning the gun on himself.
The assault unfolded at the Canterbury Mobile Home Park in Colorado Springs early on Sunday.
The birthday celebration used to be for three relatives, two of whom died.
The assault got here much less than two months after a mass capturing that left eleven useless at a grocery keep in the north-central Colorado metropolis of Boulder.
Police say the Colorado Springs gunman had a "conflict" with the focused household at a separate tournament about a week earlier, and was once a jealous boyfriend.
At the nook of this horrendous act is home violence," the Colorado Springs Police Chief Vince Niski instructed a information convention on Tuesday.
He added: "When he [Macias] wasn't invited to a household gathering, the suspect spoke back with the aid of opening fire."
He stated the killer had "displayed energy and manipulate issues", and had been in a relationship with his lady friend for about a year. He had no crook record.
Three teens left the celebration to get an object from a neighbour quickly earlier than the capturing unfolded and back to the trailer after the attack, police Lt Joe Frabbiele instructed a information conference.
