Colorado university student arrested, accused of taking 'large cache' of weapons to campus

A Colorado university student was arrested Tuesday after he was found to have a “large cache” of loaded weapons and ammunition on campus, authorities said.

The man, Robert James Killis, 24, was charged with unlawful carrying and/or possessing a weapon on a university campus, according to the Pueblo County sheriff. Deputies were alerted to Killis after witnesses alleged that he had made threats to university staff members and students at Colorado State University Pueblo, about 40 miles south of Colorado Springs.

Authorities alleged that Killis talked about buying body armor and guns and that he said he liked to kill people. A special investigations unit began monitoring his on-campus apartment. Investigators saw an ammunition box on the floorboard and a bulletproof vest in plain sight inside his 2020 Chevy Silverado, the sheriff’s office said.

Authorities obtained a search warrant for the vehicle, where, they said, deputies found fully loaded high-capacity magazines “set up in a tactical manner,” along with a loaded shotgun, handgun and semi-automatic rifle. He also was in possession of “assorted tactical equipment,” authorities said.

Thanks for the lesson

An aptronym, aptonym, or euonym is a personal name aptly or peculiarly suited to its owner.

What is it called when someone's name matches their personality?
This phenomenon of a person's name being a fitting description of their appearance, actions, or accomplishments is called an aptronym. Consider, for example, the felicitous fact that New York television personality Amy Freeze is a meteorologist.

I'm guessing he's shaded more toward right field.

This is Lunatic Lauren Boobert's district. My badly-propagandized, idiot brother and his equally=propagandized dipshit wife live there, and helped elect her. I lived there for a while, too, but it was a good, Democratic union town at the time, the helped elect Bill Clinton. It's sad to see what's happen there. Not surprised at all to hear about some heavily-armed wingnut looney threatening university staff.
