COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Authorities say a man who killed three
people during a rampage in Colorado Springs was armed with three
guns he purchased legally six years earlier.
The El Paso County sheriff's office said Thursday that 33-year-
old Noah Harpham had an AR-15 rifle, a 9 mm pistol and a .357
revolver when officers fatally shot him Saturday. Witnesses said
he used the rifle to kill a bicyclist and two women who were on
the porch of a sober living home before dying in a gunbattle
with police.
The sheriff's office says Harpham bought the guns in 2009, as he
had no criminal record preventing him from purchasing them. A
motive for the killings remains unknown.
Harpham gave no indication that he was planning violence in a
one-minute online video posted two days before the shooting.
