Windsor, Loveland serial shooter/killer

Holy Shite you guys in Loveland have a serial killer up there? I am amused how the main stream media thinks anyone that shoots a rifle is a "sniper".......

Sounds just like Washington DC shootings, the individual is taking targets of opportunity and that is the tactic of an amateur shooter.

If no one is hearing the shots he's either using a can or is sitting far back in a vehicle. I'd sure like to know the caliber of the weapon he's using, tells us more about him. I guess he's going to have to kill 10 more before the FBI & law enforcement releases any information. (While they are praying he makes a "mistake".)

If he's making these shots at night everyone better start praying......

Latest Colorado killing sparks fears of possible serial shooter


Published June 05, 2015
·FoxNews.com

A man found dead on a sidewalk late Wednesday raised fears in northern Colorado that there could be a serial shooter in the loose after a bicyclist was recently gunned down and another driver was wounded.

Police and the FBI refuse to comment on the possibility of a serial shooter, but have offered a $10,000 reward for information about the first two unsolved shootings, which they claim are linked.

The bicyclist was found dead May 18 along a rural road in Windsor. The motorist was driving on Interstate 25 on April 22 when she was shot in the neck and survived. Officials say it is still too early to determine whether the sidewalk shooting in Loveland was connected.

All three of the shootings have occurred within 15 miles of each other.

"We don't have any specific information from the shooting that occurred here last night that this case is related," Loveland Police Chief Luke Hecker said.

However, he noted that there are enough similarities to investigate a possible link.


In the latest case, 65-year-old William Connole was found on a sidewalk along a main street and responders were unable to save his life. Family and neighbors say Connole, a cancer survivor, often took late-night walks through his quiet neighborhood.

Sadie Rogers, 15, said Connole was her grandfather and had worked for years in the computer industry before taking a job at Home Depot. She said the nighttime walks helped him sleep after work.

Even when he had cancer, Connole would come to her softball games, Rogers said.

"He just did everything for everyone he could," she said.

Neighbor Russell Harmon said it seems like the shootings could be linked.

"I've got two children and a wife, and I don't want to be outside playing with my kids, you know, they're riding bikes or something down the sidewalk and somebody (could) come by and shoot me or them," he said.

Detectives are consulting with members of a task force as they continue to investigate whether the attacks are linked, police say.

FBI special agent in charge Thomas Ravenelle said it would be inappropriate to comment on whether the shootings were the work of a sniper.

Windsor police Lt. Rick Klimek said tips were pouring in about the cyclist shooting but so far none have provided substantial leads. The tips have involved years-old shootings, suspicious vehicles and other information. Investigators check each one.

"They're all going into a database to see what, if anything, fits together," Klimek said. "People are just hypersensitive now to their surroundings."

Drivers in northern Colorado have reported a string of broken vehicle windows since the I-25 shooting. However, investigators have not confirmed whether gunshots were involved in those cases.

If the cases are the work of a serial shooter, he or she likely has no connection to the victims or any particular target, said Eric Hickey, dean of the California School of Forensic Studies who has studied serial killers.

The victims are "proxies for his anger and whatever he's angry about," he said, speaking generally.

"He'll make mistakes," Hickey said "They always do."

The Weld County Sheriff's Office notified the public Thursday about a possible vehicle shooting that took place near Hudson — about 34 miles southeast of the I-25 shooting.

At about 12:10 p.m. Thursday, a 46-year-old Johnstown man was traveling south on Weld County Road 49 — between WCR 24 and WCR 26 — when the front driver's-side window of his vehicle shattered. The man was uninjured, but he believes the window may have been "shot out," according to WCSO.

So I was reading the above article and got on google to look at the terrain. I could have told you the "victim" was headed south even if it wasn't mentioned in the article. The shooter was sitting on a side road to the east of Weld County Road 49 and probably shot the car as he passed. I'm going to guess it was a .223 fired at fairly close range. 2nd window didn't explode because the bullet did explode upon impact. A heavy cal bullets core would have continued on and taken out the second window.

what is not in the media

this is home and the topic comes up regularly when out in public.

the Windsor cyclist was not an enthusiast, he was a city worker out doing his job. towing his trailer of tools and probably whistling or singing to himself. he was a high functioning special needs (or whatever the new PC term is) man who took pride in having a job, paying his bills, paying his taxes and not taking hound outs to get by. (imagine that)

not sure it belongs in the media but there is a large Somali population in Greeley; al shabab anyone?

thought about the bullet caliber too. possible frangible round?

a good friend works for Windsor PD and there are FBI agents swarming (fumbling) all over this.
