Armed Man Found Dead at Park with Cryptic Message
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.”
