Gunman opens fire in Christian missionary training centre

ARVADA, Colo. — A gunman walked into a training centre dormitory for young Christian missionaries early Sunday and opened fire, killing two people and wounding two others.

No arrests had been made by late morning.

The shooting happened at about 12:30 a.m. at the Youth With a Mission centre, police spokeswoman Susan Medina said. About 45 people were evacuated from the dormitory in this Denver suburb.

Witnesses told police that the gunman was a 20-year-old white male, wearing a dark jacket and skull cap. He may have glasses or a beard.

“There's no blueprint for this, we're just going to be honest and pray for one another, cry with one another,” centre director Peter Warren told KUSA-TV. “Who knows what was going on in this young man's life.”

Police with several dogs searched the area through the night, and residents of nearby homes were notified by reverse 911 to be on the lookout. Medina said residents were asked to look out their windows to see if the snow had been disturbed during the night. About seven centimetres of snow had fallen in the area in the past day.

Conditions of the two injured people were not immediately available.

The dormitory is on the campus of the Faith Bible Chapel. People bundled up against freezing cold arrived for Sunday services at the sanctuary, about 300 metres from the dormitory.

Darv Smith, director of a Youth With a Mission centre in Boulder, said people ranging from their late teens to their 70s undergo a 12-week discipleship course that prepares them to be missionaries.

He said the centre trains about 300 people a year.

Youth With a Mission was started in 1960 and now has 1,100 locations with 16,000 full-time staff, Smith said. The Arvada centre was founded in 1984.
