A Colorado man armed with guns, ammo and explosives was found dead inside the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park after apparently killing himself, according to officials.
A heavily armed man who appeared to be planning to shoot up a mountain top amusement park at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park in Colorado, killed himself before carrying out his plan, according to authorities. The Garfield County Sheriff’s Office said park officials found the 20-year-old man dead inside the park on Saturday morning before opening to the public.
The man was also wearing tactical clothing and body armor. Sheriff Lou Vallario said a message was found written on the wall of the women’s bathroom where the man was found, which read, 'I am not a killer, I just want to get into the caves.' The sheriff could not verify whether the man who was found dead wrote the message.
Investigators searched the man’s vehicle and reportedly found explosive devices, though when the rest of the park was searched, no other explosives were found.
Stowe said the man had patches and emblems on his clothing that made it appear that he was a member of law enforcement. According to reporting from the Glenwood Springs Post Independent, Stowe said the man’s death was being investigated as a possible suicide. Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park is on a mountain near the Colorado River in western Colorado. It is known for its cave tours, alpine coaster and swing ride that sits on the edge of a cliff and sends riders over a canyon. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
