UPDATE 6:20 PM MST: It’s been determined that one man wounded five persons and murdered four persons at both churches which are about 60 miles apart. Matthew Murray, 24, a home-schooled son (one of two brothers) of a prominent Denver family did the shooting.
Murray was five years ago an ‘associate’ at the Missionary Training Center, but was found ‘healthwise’ unfit for assignment after the 12 week training for missionary work.
People close-in would not say what the ‘health’ issues were.
That Missionary Training Center was the shooter’s first target, before he traveled to the other church and unleashed more mayhem.
Today, the Director of the Missionary Training Center said Murray was believed to have been sending hate mail to the Center for some time.
Murray’s father is a neurologist and a prominent multiple-sclerosis researcher in Lone Tree, an upscale community at the southeast end of Denver.
