Arapahoe HS Active Shooter Situation

[Surfah]

Still developing but word is at least two injured.

This is sad. I served my mission in Denver South and learned about Columbine from someone calling in for a free Book of Mormon while I was in the MTC and working at the referral center. When I asked what prompted this woman to call for the Book of Mormon, she told me all about Columbine as it had happened and hoped that this book would give her peace. We had a great conversation as I explained to her I was a missionary in Utah preparing to serve in Denver.

Our mission office was right next to Arapahoe HS off Easter Ave by University Mall in Littleton.

Suspect is dead (self-inflicted). Sounds like he "only" injured two. One is fine and the other is hurt badly. The one who is badly injured apparently confronted the student with the gun. We will see in the debrief but I'm guess that kid saved a few lives by his actions.

The shooter was looking for a specific teacher.

Anyone know if this kid is Mormon? He looks Mormon, they mentioned on CNN he was an eagle scout. He was on the debate team (totally Mormon thing to do).

From the internets: He liked to talk about his beliefs, ranted against the U.S. government, loved to debate, was bullied, acted weird, was geek and nerdy, bright and a social misfit, and apparently was aggressive to win every argument.

Sounds like 95% of this board. I'm guessing he's Mo, but would have left the church within 15 years had he lived.

Wow.

The high school is on the opposite side of town from us, but I was in that school just two weeks ago for a special event for work. They hosted a lunch for us in the library where the shooting took place.

It sounds like the difference in this case was a deputy sheriff that ran to the scene and pinned the shooter down. It was all over in 80 seconds.

My parents worked in the office in that mission too. We visited them pretty frequently, and they lived very close to the school. All shootings are tragic, but being in a place that I am familiar with makes it that much more real.

On a side note, one of the earlier articles mentioned that the evacuees all met in a nearby church. I wonder if it was the bldg there on Easter.

Looks Mormon, but if he was it would have been in the first or second sentence of the story. My guess he isn't Mormon, Evangelical or a member of the tea party.

His anti-government tirades were socialistic. Mormons usually go liberal after dealing with the fallout of realizing their religious beliefs were a smokescreen.
