Law enforcement in Colorado is investigating after they said a "heavily armed" man was found dead inside an amusement park over the weekend "wearing body armor" with "multiple improvised explosive devices" on him.

The Garfield County Sheriff's Office reported that Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park employees notified officials the body of the 22-year-old man was found Saturday morning, prior to the park opening. * The park is located in Glenwood Springs, a resort city in the Rocky Mountains surrounded by the White River National Forest.

Walt Stowe, a spokesperson for the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office told USA TODAY the man’s death is being investigated as a possible suicide. “There is no danger to the community as of right now,” Stowe said Monday.

The agency did not release how the man died but, according to a press release, said his death did not involve any of the rides and he was not authorized to be inside the park.

Maybe he intended to kill a bunch of folks and then commit suicide like so many mass killers do but just went ahead and performed the last act first.

It's so confusing.

Like my uncle Lefty.

The Army tried to teach him about hand grenades:
"Pull the pin and throw it."

So he pulled the pin and threw the pin...

I bet one of his IED’s malfunctioned.

I bet he had fewer IEDs on his person than he brought into the park...

I remember renting this movie on VHS for my dad to watch. He laughed so he nearly threw up. Especially when they tied Aunt Edna to the roof of the car.

It was pretty dark when he got to the park. He read his mass-murder/suicide note upside down.

Tragic.

According to a preliminary investigation, police wrote in a news release Monday, the man, from the Carbondale area, was found dead dressed in black tactical clothing “bearing patches and emblems that gave the appearance of being associated with law enforcement.”

He was armed with a semi-automatic rifle, a semi-automatic handgun and multiple loaded magazines for both weapons, the release continues. He wore a body armor and what appeared to be a ballistic helmet Additional multiple improvised explosive devices (IEDS) were discovered with the suspect and a vehicle associated with the suspect, found at the park.

A bomb squad responded to the park and “we able to render the devices safe,” the release continues.

Bomb squad members backed by the Garfield County All Hazard response team swept the park to make sure no other IEDs were planted.

According to law enforcement, so far the investigation has indicated the suspect’s actions were “limited to the property of the Glenwood Caverns.”

The agency released the following statement on Facebook:

“The initial two days of the investigation have been carried out in the slow, methodical manner in order to search the property, as well as the suspect’s residence to ensure the safety of the public and to begin to determine the extent of his criminal activity. The safety of the public, bomb, disposal personnel, Lawn enforcement, and other first responders were the priority, as well as making sure the cabins were safe to re-open.”

"...Colorado amusement park with multiple guns and explosives..."

That sounds like my kind of amusement park.

Sundance over on Conservative Treehouse has good article about this:

Weird Story – Colorado Man, Diego Barajas Medina (20), Found Dead Loaded with Heavy Weapons in Amusement Park (Oct 30, 2023)

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/10/30/weird-story-colorado-man-diego-barajas-medina-20-found-dead-loaded-with-heavy-weapons-in-amusement-park/#more-252573

What he described does not sound as threatening as it could be.

The legit reason for delay is finding/notifying next of kin. It also takes time to suss out any online presense, unravel or fake connections to other nuts or groups before public announcements warn them off, locate/search his dwelling, plant some Trump literature, write up a manifesto, etc. Biggest time waster: the feds are probably involved — possibly even the Community Relations Service, to “manage” the public’s perceptions.
