DENVER (Reuters) – A man who fatally shot his girlfriend and five other people at a Colorado birthday party last weekend before killing himself had “power and control issues” and was upset because he was not invited to the gathering, police said on Tuesday.
The shooting spree erupted inside a mobile home in Colorado Springs, about 70 miles (110 km) south of Denver. It was the latest in a resurgence of mass shootings in the United States after they receded during the height of coronavirus pandemic restrictions.
The gunman, identified as Teodoro Macias, 28, had been dating one of the victims, 28-year-old Sandra Ibarra-Perez, for about a year, a relationship that Colorado Springs Police Chief Vince Niski said was marked by âpower and control issues.â
