CO - Sol Pais, Threats to Columbine High and 20 other schools

OK, I just don't understand. Even if you are mentally ill...how or why would you even think of going to a school and shooting people? How in this world could you walk in off the streets (if you are 18 as she's supposed to be...but looks 35 or so) and purchase a gun like that with shells and a case to carry it in? Where does an 18 year old get money like that? And, THEN pay for a plane ticket to CO to complete a crime for which there is absolutely NO rhyme or reason. I read there were sickos who say they are in love with the Columbine shooters, but this is a whole new level of depravity.

I just don't understand where an 18 year old would get the kind of money it would take (and skills to even use it) to do this kind of terror attack.

Sometimes, I think I've heard it all and then along comes excrement like this creeping out of the pits of hell.
 
Yes. As a parent of a young student in Denver Metro area, I am hoping that they decide to call it a day and keep kids home...unless they find her overnight.

It occurred to me last night, that your Town and LE probably has had to deal with a steady stream of Colombine obsessed crack pots over the years. For that I am very sorry.

I will be praying for all of you today, and your safety.
 
Just heard they closed school for today (Wednesday) too. Parents and students must be so scared. She’s making quite an impact. I just moved from Denver, and everyone I know there is spooked.

I wonder if she looks older due to heavy drug use. That’s the only thing I can think of.
 
Thanks perfecting-pink. I’ve read that and just about every article has the same info. They say she’s from surfside Florida and is 18 and obsessed with columbine shooting. Sol Pais may not be her real name which is why there’s no social media floating around...
Welcome to Websleuths.

I doubt that is her real name. Looks to me like her name means "Sun Country."

She does not look 18, no way. This is a fake persona and weird.

I have to catch up with the thread but had to jump in with that.

I thought the same thing, that it might be a fake name. BUT it turns out her Dad is named Gardi Pais. Sol could be short for Marisol and is a fairly common nickname in Spanish-speaking cultures. Still, the 18 year old thing is weird, but I feel like the FBI wouldn't have shared that if it weren’t certain.

That is her real name, but I agree, she doesn't look 18, rather 35-40.
I hope people keep circulating her image on social media so she can be found quickly!

I stand corrected! If Pais is her dad's name, then Sol Pais is likely her real name. Glad to have the correct name for her.

If she’s 18, she can’t rent a car. How is she getting around?

LE said she was last seen “in the Jefferson County foothills” after purchasing a shotgun at a “Littleton retailer,” which LE won’t specify.

There’s a Dick’s Sporting Goods right near Columbine but that’s not what we call “foothills.”

How is she getting around - Uber? Or is she just walking around with a shotgun? Schools are closed as far west as Bailey and way north up to Greeley.

Yes, my thoughts too. What she is doing (and other Columbine-obsessed people do) is so hurtful. I don't understand deliberate ugliness like that.

Hope she is found quickly and before she can do more harm.

Denver Area Schools Closed As Authorities Search For 'Armed And Dangerous' Woman
April 17, 20197:09 AM ET
Pais had not been charged with a crime as of Tuesday evening, Phillips told reporters. Phillips said the FBI was working with federal prosecutors and local authorities were working with local prosecutors to bring charges against Pais.
As of now, if Pais were found immediately, "we will certainly hold her for as long as we can legally," Phillips said.

F.B.I. Seeks Woman ‘Infatuated’ With Columbine; Denver Schools Are Closed

April 16, 2019
If authorities find Ms. Pais, it is not clear if they can arrest her. The bulletin sent to local police said they did not have probable cause for arrest, but that officers should detain her “and evaluate mental health status.”
 
It isn't just Denver area schools that are closed today. Much of Northern Colorado schools decided to close out of caution also. I have been listening to the Jefferson County, CO scanner and a few more details about what she is said to be carrying have been released in the aired BOLO, but I haven't seen them in MSM yet.

UPDATE: Northern Colorado schools closed Wednesday due to safety threat

Wondering the same. Could she maybe have met someone online in that area that's driving her around?
