Authorities have found a 22-year-old man dead dressed in black-colored tactical clothing, bearing patches, dead at an amusement park called Caverns Adventure Park in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The man was heavily armed with a semi-automatic rifle and a semi-automatic handgun, and he had multiple loaded magazines for both weapons. He was wearing body armor and what appeared to be a ballistic helmet. Additionally, multiple improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were discovered with the man and in a vehicle. The investigation is still ongoing and very active. given the amount of weapons, ammunition, and explosive devices found, the suspect could have implemented an attack, according to officials.

The hot springs there are only so so, but the Fairy Caves are worth a look.

Good job out of the FBI and ATF preventing this.

Police say armed man killed himself instead of carrying out apparent plan to attack amusement park A heavily armed man killed himself rather than carry out an apparent plan to shoot up a mountaintop amusement park in Colorado, his body discovered in a bathroom next to words scrawled on the wall, “I am not a killer,” authorities said Monday. Diego Barajas Medina, 20, was found dead in a women’s bathroom at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park by a maintenance crew on Saturday morning, before the park opened to the public. He died of a self-inflected gunshot wound to the head, Garfield County Coroner Robert Glassmire said. Medina apparently entered the park while it was closed, armed with an AR-style rifle, a semi-automatic handgun and explosives and was wearing body armor and tactical clothing, similar to what a police SWAT team member might wear, authorities said. A message saying, “I am not a killer, I just wanted to get into the caves,” was written on a wall of the bathroom where Medina’s body was found lying on the floor, Garfield County Sheriff Lou Vallario said. Nearby was a handgun and explosive devices, some real and some fake, he said. The AR-style rifle was on a counter nearby along with a duty belt holding several ammunition magazines.

That's what I was thinking.  We say this after almost every mass shooting, if they are just going to kill themselves anyway they might as well do it first.  It's sad he felt he needed to kill himself but glad he took a moment to rethink what he was about to do before killing others.
