Boyfriend kills 6 people and himself at Colorado birthday party; children not shot
A man fatally shot six people including his girlfriend before turning the gun on himself early on Sunday at a birthday party in Colorado Springs, Colorado, but did not fire on traumatized children who were present inside a trailer at a mobile home park.
Police arrived to find six people dead plus a seventh who was seriously wounded and died after being taken to a hospital, a police statement said.
"The suspect, a boyfriend of one of the female victims, drove to the residence, walked inside and began shooting people at the party before taking his own life," said the statement released by the Colorado Springs Police Department.
"Friends, family, and children were gathered inside the trailer to celebrate when the shooting occurred," the statement said.
It goes on to describe the scene, and to list the victims, and to ignore completely the fact that we can't figure out what the fuck is wrong with this fucked up fuckin' country that we walk around thinking two basic things:
- I can kill my way out of my problems
- I can get killed at any moment by some asshole who thinks he can kill his way out of his problems.
I'm so tired of you, America.
