More a son of privelege that had dropped out or been rejected by the missionary program from what I read.
One story has this:
“The common denominator with both locations of (the shootings), is a church based group called ‘Youth With A Mission’ (Y-WAM),” Colorado Springs Detective Bradley Pratt wrote Sunday in a statement supporting of search warrant for Murray’s family home in Arapahoe County.He was the son of a neuro-surgeon according to this Rocky Mountain News Story“It appears that the suspect had been kicked out of that program approximately three years prior, and during the past few weeks, had sent different forms of hate mail to the program, and/or its director,” Pratt wrote.
Murray’s expulsion from the school was confirmed by Cheryl Morrison, whose husband, George Morrison, is pastor of the Faith Bible Chapel adjacent to Y-WAM Arvada. She didn’t know specifics of the conflict.
“I don’t think that ‘run-in’ is the word, but they did have to dismiss him,” Cheryl Morrison said. “It had to be something of significance, because they go the nth degree with people.”
Ok, this is a complete guess but if what you posted turns out to be correct it makes sense. He probably was one of the homeschool rebel types whose parents sent him to Y-WAM with hopes of him having a life of Christian Service. While there he probably violated the rules - sex or alcohol use would be likely candidates. Then when he was caught breaking the rules and was expelled he probably got in serious trouble with his folks and completely rejected his Christian Upbringing all the time blaiming Y-WAM and its legalism for all the problems that he had brought into his life. This is a complete guess but it does make sense to me since I graduated from a conservative Christian College where I saw some homeschooled rebels get expelled for violating the rules and get very bitter about it. Though I don’t think that any of them would be capable of anything like this.
But...I've known quite a few neuro-surgeons. And it's odd to find one that's not odd, if you know what I mean.....
Maybe like father, like son???
FWIW
