FBI checking social media, cellphone of Colorado man found dead with guns & explosives at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park
The 20-year-old Colorado man found dead over the weekend at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park “was well intended to do something very heinous,” according to the Garfield County Sheriff, but so far what his reasons may have been for collecting extensive weaponry for a possible attack is a mystery.
It’s also not clear why some of the explosives he had were fake and others, including pipe bombs, were real and capable of causing great harm.
It’s believed the man shot himself early on Saturday after trespassing into the amusement park on Friday night.
“Given the preparation, given the amount of weapons and the amount of ordnance he had it almost seemed highly likely that he intended to use those against the community,” Sheriff Lou Vallario said.
The FBI and other agencies are now helping Garfield County authorities with checking the social media posts and cellphone records of the man, Diego Barajas Medina, as part of their investigation.
