COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A suspect was taken into custody Monday morning in connection with the fatal shootings last week of two people in a dormitory at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, police said.
Colorado Springs police have not identified the suspect but have named the two victims as Celie Rain Montgomery, 26, and Samuel Knopp, 24, a student at the university about 70 miles (111 kilometers) south of Denver.
Friday’s shooting appeared to be an “isolated incident” between people who knew each other, and not a random attack on the school, police said on the social media platform victim shot. At least once, police said.
Authorities have not provided any further details about the suspect, including the charges or their alleged involvement in the case.
Police were called early Friday morning about shots fired from the university dormitory, Creston House, where they found the two already dead.
A campus-wide lockdown was issued for 90 minutes after the shooting, and the university remained closed all day and through the weekend. Monday classes have been canceled, while the school is offering drop-in counseling.
The school has more than 11,000 students and nearly 2,000 faculty and staff.
