Garfield County Sheriff Lou Vallario said the words “I’m not a killer, I just wanted to go to the cave” were written on the bathroom wall where Medina’s body was found on the floor. Nearby is a shotgun and the explosive device, some real and some fake.
Mr. Vallario could not conclude whether the above inscription was actually written by Medina or not.
“Considering the preparation, with the number of weapons that Medina had, it was likely that he intended to use them against the community. He chose not to do so,” Mr. Vallario said.
Police said multiple homemade explosive devices were found in Medina’s car. The rest of the amusement park was searched by the authorities and no other explosive devices were discovered.
If one attack If it happens on a weekend, casualties are likely to be high because this is the time when people go to the mountains to watch the autumn colors change. Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park is also located in an isolated location, making it more difficult to move victims to the hospital.
