ARVADA, Colo.—A gunman walked into a training center dormitory for young Christian missionaries in a Denver suburb early Sunday and opened fire, wounding at least four people.

The shooting happened at about 12:30 a.m. at the Youth With a Mission center, Arvada Police spokeswoman Susan Medina said. About 45 people were evacuated from the dormitory.

The extent of the injuries was not clear, and the gunman was still at large Sunday morning.
Witnesses told police that the gunman was a 20-year-old white male, wearing a dark jacket and skull cap. He may have glasses or a beard.

Police searched through the night with several dogs and nearby houses were notified via 911 to be on the lookout. Medina said residents should look out their windows to see if the snow had been disturbed overnight.

Skullcap is NOT a promising sounding sign...in Colorado I would have expected a knit ski cap or such...

It's a symptom of a society in meltdown!
I was talking with my sometime son last night, what is happening in our neighborhood and schools is frightening...
