Man kills himself instead of carrying out US amusement park shooting, police say

Colorado authorities say heavily armed 20-year-old found dead at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park during closing hours

A heavily armed man killed himself rather than carrying out an apparent plan to shoot up a mountaintop amusement park in Colorado, authorities said Monday.

The 20-year-old man was found dead at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park on Saturday morning before it opened to the public, apparently breaking into the park while it was closed. He was armed with an AR-style rifle, a handgun and explosives and was wearing body armor and tactical clothing, authorities said.
