Authorities have identified the victims of the tragic double shooting at the University of Colorado - Colorado Springs. The two individuals have been named as Celie Rain Montgomery from Pueblo and Samuel Knopp from Parker. It is a heartbreaking loss for their loved ones and the entire university community.
A 25-year-old man, identified as Nicholas Jordan from Detroit, Michigan, has been apprehended in connection with the deadly incident. Police were able to locate and arrest him without any complications at Cliff Point Circle East on Monday morning. Details about Jordan's involvement in the shooting are still being investigated, and his booking photo will be released once he is processed into the El Paso County Jail.
The investigation into the shooting, which occurred on Friday morning, is still ongoing. The homicide unit has obtained an arrest warrant for Jordan on two counts of first-degree murder. The victims, Knopp and Montgomery, were found with gunshot wounds to the head in a dorm room at the university. The discovery prompted a campus-wide lockdown that lasted for about an hour and a half.
Knopp, a senior at the university, was known for his love of music and played guitar. He was studying in the Visual and Performing Arts department. Montgomery, on the other hand, was not a student at the university. According to her LinkedIn page, she worked as a freelance copywriter in the health and wellness industry. She had a background in psychology and human growth development from Pueblo Community College. Her family shared on Facebook that she was a single mother to two young daughters.
The cause and manner of death for the victims have not yet been released by the coroner's office. Police had initially ruled out the possibility of a murder-suicide and stated that the incident was not a random attack on the school or its students. However, they believe it was an isolated incident involving individuals who knew each other.
The police are urging anyone with information about the shooting to come forward and help with the investigation. It is a tragic event that has shaken the university and the community as a whole. Our hearts go out to the families and friends of Knopp and Montgomery during this difficult time.
