Gunman Kills Two at Colo. Missionary School

According to the Star Tribune, “A gunman opened fire in a training center dormitory for young Christian missionaries in Colorado early Sunday after being told he couldn't spend the night, killing two of the center's staff members and wounding two others.� One of the victims was identified as Tiffany Johnson, 26, who grew up in Chisholm, Minn. No arrests had been made by Sunday afternoon. The shooting occurred at about 12:30 a.m. at the Youth With a Mission center in the Denver suburb. “A man and a woman were killed and two men were wounded, Medina said. All four were staff members, said Paul Filidis, a Colorado Springs-based spokesman with Youth With a Mission.� The gunman came to the door of the dormitory seeking shelter, asking if he could spend the night, but when told he couldn't stay, the man walked inside, opened fire, then left on foot. The other victim was identified as Phillip Crouse, 23.

According to the Pioneer Press, “Two people, including a 26-year-old Minnesota woman, were killed when a lone gunman opened fire at a training center for Christian missionaries in the Denver suburb of Arvada early today.� Two other people were injured. Police say the gunman is still at large. The shooting occurred at about 12:30 a.m. at the Youth With a Mission Center. The two victims were identified as 26-year-old Tiffany Johnson of Minnesota and 24-year-old Philip Crouse of Alaska as well as two men ages 22 and 23 who were wounded, one that is in critical condition.

The Pioneer Press article was more of a brief while the Star Tribune article had multiple quotes from different sources and was much more descriptive. A significant difference is that the Star Tribune said the victim Crouse was 23, while the Pioneer Press said he was 24.
