    Casper College Attack: 3 Dead (Something different) No gun used!

    Wonder if it was a single shot or semi shot bow?

    In Wyoming After Apparent 'Bow And Arrow' Attack

    Three people are dead after an attack Friday morning at Casper College in Wyoming, the Casper Star Tribune reports.

    According to The Tribune, two people were killed in a classroom on campus and another body was found at an undisclosed location in the city. One of the victims was a male faculty member.

    The shooter is one of the dead and reportedly committed suicide, according to KCWY. The station added that the unidentified shooter "was not a current student at Casper College."

    Details of the attack are unclear at this point, but a law enforcement official told NBC News that a "bow and arrow type" weapon was allegedly used.

    The college went on lockdown on Friday morning, but police lifted the security restrictions just before 10:00 a.m. local time, according to the college's Twitter account. The college has cancelled classes until further notice.
    More from The Associated Press:

    CHEYENNE, Wyo. — At least one person was killed and another wounded Friday morning in an attack at a central Wyoming community college.
    Police took into custody one person who was injured and may also have died following the attack that happened just before 9 a.m. at Casper College, school spokesman Rich Fujita said.

    Authorities were searching the campus for any additional suspects, Fujita said.

    "They are reasonably certain that the one and only suspect is in custody, but they told us they can't be 100 percent certain there is not a second suspect," he said.

    The campus was locked down and students were advised to stay where they were until police gave the all clear.

    Fujita said he had no additional information, including how the attack happened, what type of weapon may have been used, or who was killed.

    Casper police said they couldn't provide information because all their officers were at the scene. The Wyoming Highway Patrol was helping to direct traffic at the college, but a patrol spokesman said he had no information about what happened.

    Political science instructor Chris Henrichsen said he was showing the film "Frost/Nixon" to his Wyoming and U.S. government class when he stepped into the hall to get something for a student and was told a homicide had occurred on campus.

    He went back to his classroom, where students were getting messages about the campus lockdown on their phones.

    "We locked the door and waited for further instruction," Henrichsen said.

    The class finished watching the remaining 10 minutes of the movie and remained locked down 20 minutes after that, he said.

    The students then were sent home, but some who parked near a different campus building where the attack occurred had to leave their cars there, Henrichsen said.

    Henrichsen said he saw nothing unusual or suspicious on campus before the attack.

    Casper College is a two-year community college in Wyoming's second-largest city. Casper, population 56,000, is about 250 miles northwest of Denver.

    Wyoming residents refer to Casper as the "Oil City" because it's a hub for the state's small oil industry. The city is flanked to the south by Casper Mountain, scene of a massive wildfire in September that burned more than 24 square miles of forest and meadows and destroyed 37 homes and cabins.

    News said no guns were used. Therefore there was no shooter.

    Sounds like a 3-way love triangle to me...



    'Sharp edged weapon' used in two killings, suicide in Casper


    Casper College and city officials say a suspect used a "sharp edged weapon" to kill two people in Casper, one a college faculty member, in two separate attacks including one in a Casper College classroom.

    The suspect, who wasn't a student, then committed suicide with an edged weapon in the same classroom where the suspect killed one of the victims, said Casper Police Chief Chris Walsh.

    Walsh wouldn't identify the dead pending notification of next of kin.

    It appears there was some relationship between the three dead although he said there's no confirmation of a blood relationship and a motive for the attacks wasn't clear, Walsh said. The attacks don't appear to be "school-motivated," according to a press release from city officials.

    No suspects are at large and nobody else was injured in the attacks, Walsh said earlier today.

    Asked about reports from students that a bow and arrow were used in the attacks and suicide, Walsh said an "edged weapon" was used but wouldn't specifically identify what weapons were involved in the attacks. No firearms were used, he said.

    Police have blocked off the 3700-3800 block of Hawthorne Avenue in Casper. Late morning radio scanner traffic and on-scene reports indicated a dead body was on the street.

    A resident on the block told a Star-Tribune reporter she noticed the body was barefoot and clad in pajamas.

    A county coroner transport vehicle and a hazardous materials team arrived at the scene at about 1 p.m.

    Police first responded to the campus's Wold Physical Science Center at about 9 a.m. this morning. Police and college officials locked down the campus and police sealed and searched the physical science center.

    The college is now no longer on lockdown, but police are barring anyone from entering the physical science center or the adjoining life science center until their investigation has concluded.

    Officials called for ambulances from the Wyoming Medical Center shortly after 9 a.m., but no patients were transported or treated at the Wyoming Medical Center, Walsh and hospital spokeswoman Mel Schwartz said.

    College student Delina Barbosa was in the same building and same floor where the incident occured this morning, attending a morning chemistry class. At about 9:10 a.m. a college secretary pounded on the door, then gestured to students.

    "You guys need to evacuate right now. This is not a drill," the secretary said, according to Barbosa. Barbosa said she didn't hear any commotion prior to the secretary's notice. Barbosa and the other left class and were ushered to Liesinger Hall, the student center.

    Roommates Courtney Suko and Shannan Pyer, both freshmen, were in a biology lecture hall in the physical science building when a woman came into the room and told the class to leave.
    Suko and Pyer grabbed their bags and ran for the door. They both thought it was a drill.

    "I didn't think it was anything shocking or anything like that," Pyer said.

    When they got outside, they saw that police had already assembled.

    "You're wondering if someone would jump out and have a gun or something," Suko said.

    The class planned to assemble in a nearby building, but later moved to the Liesinger building, further from where the incident happened.

    As Pyer and Suko waited to be released, they said they saw a girl crying in the same room. The girl told them that she'd been in the room where everything happened. She said she saw a student shoot a professor with a bow and arrow and stab him with something repeatedly.

    Pyer said despite the stories circulating, she felt safer knowing she was in a large group further from the physical science building.

    Natrona County School District officials put the district's schools on lockdown after news of the incident, and the Wyoming Medical Center was put on lockdown for 30 minutes this morning. The district lifted the lockdown on all schools at 10:30 a.m.

    Counselors are available on the second floor of the campus Gateway Building on a walk-in basis, Casper College said on its Facebook page. College employees without duties related to the attack may close their offices and leave campus, the college said.

    More information on this breaking story as we get it.

    Girlfriend of Teacher Slain by Son Also Killed

    By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    Published: December 1, 2012


    CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — The police released more details on Saturday of a grisly murder-suicide at a Wyoming community college,
    saying a man shot his father in the head with a bow and arrow in front of a class not long after fatally stabbing his father’s girlfriend at their home a couple of miles away.

    Casper College on Friday, where the police said an instructor was shot with a bow and arrow.





    James Krumm, 56, a computer science instructor, might have saved some of his students’ lives on Friday by giving them time to flee while trying to fend off his son,
    Christopher Krumm, 25, of Vernon, Conn., Police Chief Chris Walsh said.
    “I can tell you the courage that was demonstrated by Mr. Krumm was absolutely without equal,” he said.
    Heidi Arnold, 42, a math instructor at the college, was found stabbed to death in front of the home she shared with James Krumm.
    After shooting his father, Christopher Krumm stabbed himself, then fatally stabbed his father in the chest in a struggle in the classroom, Chief Walsh said.
    Christopher Krumm had smuggled the compound bow, which is much more powerful and effective for hunting than a simple, wooden bow, onto campus beneath a blanket, Chief Walsh said.
