Heavily⁤ Armed Man ‍Found Dead at Amusement Park Near Message Written on Wall

A‍ shocking incident ‍unfolded⁣ at the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park in Glenwood Springs, Colorado over the weekend. A heavily armed man was discovered dead in a ⁤women’s restroom, with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Before taking his own⁤ life, the man left a chilling message on the bathroom wall.

The man was identified as 20-year-old Diego Barajas Medina from⁣ the nearby⁣ community of Carbondale. He was⁣ found armed with a rifle, a pistol, and multiple magazines for both weapons. Additionally, he was dressed in tactical gear, including body armor⁤ and a helmet, and was in possession of homemade explosive devices.

The Garfield County Sheriff’s Office ⁣revealed that Medina’s body was found in the women’s restroom where the disturbing message was written. The message read, “I‍ am not a killer. I just wanted to get into the caves.” Although it⁣ is unclear if Medina wrote the ⁤message himself, the incident has raised ⁤concerns about his motives for entering the amusement park.

Despite some of his weapons being fake, ⁤authorities warned that Medina was still ‍capable of carrying out a violent attack. The Garfield ⁢County Sheriff’s Office stated, “Given the amount of weapons, ammunition, and explosive devices found, the suspect could have implemented an‍ attack of devastating proportions upon the community and first responders.”
