On May 9, 2021, a mass shooting occurred at a birthday party in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States. Seven people were killed, including the gunman, who committed suicide.[3]
Shooting[edit]
Shortly after midnight on May 9, 2021, police responded to a shooting at Canterbury Mobile Home Park, located near the Colorado Springs Airport. The shooting happened at a birthday party, with adults and children gathered inside.[4] According to the police, the perpetrator was a boyfriend of one of the female victims;[5] he drove to the home, walked in, and started shooting. He then killed himself.[6] The birthday party was for one of the people killed in the shooting.[7]
When the police arrived, they found six adults who were dead, including the perpetrator, and one man with serious injuries. He was transported to a hospital and died there.[8] The children present in the home at the time of the shooting were not injured.[6]
Victims[edit]
Six people, excluding the shooter, were killed. They were Joana Cruz, 52; Jose Gutierrez-Cruz, 21; Jose Ibarra, 26; Sandra Ibarra-Perez, 28, (the perpetrator’s girlfriend); Mayra Ibarra de Perez, 33; and Melvin Perez, 30.[9][10]
Perpetrator[edit]
The police subsequently identified the shooter as Teodoro Macias, age 28.[11] Macias was the boyfriend of one of the victims, whose family was hosting the birthday party. The family had a conflict with Macias about a week earlier because of his jealous and controlling behavior, and he had not been invited to the party. Macias had no criminal record.[11][12]
Macias was armed with a Smith & Wesson 9mm semi-automatic pistol and two 15-round magazines, one of which was still loaded. The gun was purchased at a local gun store in 2014, but Macias was not the buyer. The gun had not been reported stolen, and the police were trying to determine where and how Macias obtained it.[11]
