Hundreds of emergency responders ringed Thornton Town Center shopping center Wednesday after the shooting was was reported around 6:30 p.m.

Police initially reported that “multiple parties” were down in the shooting. An hour later, Thornton Police Department tweeted “at this time this is not an active shooter.”

Apologies for the misleading title of the thread it was initially believed to be a mass casualty incident. It is tragic two people have died.

A domestic dispute ??
So someone thought to settle it with violence ?
Some people are nuts.:gaah:

Sad that lives were lost ; sometimes you have to walk away from a situation.
Seems like dealing with it in a peaceful manner is the hardest way ... but it's the best choice.
If that's what happened.
:moo:

I am anxious to find out if he has mental issues or just evil. How horrible for all these families. I hope he is caught very soon.

A description of suspect and his vehicle (am looking for a photo of him):

At the news conference Wednesday night, Avila said police are looking for a Caucasian man wearing a black jacket, maroon shirt and blue jeans.

The suspect was also seen in a red Mitsubishi Mirage.

From above (Avila is a police spokesperson):

[FONT=&quot]“He walked in very nonchalantly with his hands in the pockets, raised a weapon and began shooting. Then he turns around and walks out of the store,” Avila said. “From what we have right now it appears to be random. It’s a crazy world we live in.”[/FONT]

From The Heavy (a picture of arrest at link):

According to 9News, Ostrem has been in trouble with the law over the years. “Scott Ostrem has a criminal history dating back to 1990 including harassment, multiple DUIs and disorderly conduct,” one of the station’s reporters wrote on Twitter. “According to court records, Ostrem declared bankruptcy in 2015, but he does not have a lengthy criminal record. In 2013, he was arrested for driving while ability impaired,” The Denver Post reported. Photos circulated of police towing his car away from the arrest scene.
