The 20-year-old’s body was found in a women’s bathroom Saturday morning before the scheduled opening time of the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park in Glenwood Springs, the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office said. It appears he entered the park illegally after it had last closed.
He was «armed with a semi-automatic rifle and semi-automatic handgun and multiple, loaded magazines for both weapons,» the sheriff’s office said in a statement. «He was wearing body armor and what appeared to be a ballistic helmet. Additionally, multiple improvised explosive devices, (IEDs), were discovered with the suspect and in a vehicle associated with the suspect.»
