DENVER — After a massive manhunt along the Front Range and foothills west of Denver, Sol Pais was found dead by a self-inflicted gunshot wound Wednesday morning near the base of Mt. Evans, according to multiple high-ranking sources.
The 18-year-old woman from Surfside, Fla. had been wanted by authorities since Tuesday morning after allegedly making "credible" threats toward schools in the Denver metro area. Multiple sources told Denver7 Wednesday morning that she had been found dead around the base of Mt. Evans. Two high-ranking sources told Denver7's Jace Larson that she took her own life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The FBI tweeted shortly afterward that there was no longer a threat to the community.
We are expecting to learn more at a 11:30 a.m. press conference with Jefferson County Public Schools.
Pais traveled to Colorado on Monday and arrived at Denver on Monday and arrived at Denver International Airport later that day. She went to a gun store and purchased a shotgun and ammunition, according to the FBI. Sources close to the investigation told Denver7 that she legally purchased the shotgun in Littleton. The woman is “infatuated” with the Columbine school shooting, authorities said. She was last seen in the Foothills of Jefferson County on Monday, but authorities did not name her exact location.
Jefferson County Sheriff's Office placed several schools on lockout Tuesday afternoon after the sheriff's office identified what appeared to be a "credible threat," though the details of the threat were not clear. The sheriff's office said Pais was connected to the threat and was considered armed and dangerous.The ABC Station in Miami reported that a man who said he was her father told news crews that he last saw his daughter Sunday and the situation has "been a nightmare" since then.About 150 schools and districts closed Wednesday as a precaution.

Re: Sol Pais found dead in Colorado from self-inflicted wound
I have connections with Columbine. My college roommate's son was killed there that day.
Choir teacher I knew. Wrote a work for them- Children With the Angels in the Sky.
Lee said Klebold and Harris were bullied and picked on a lot. Mostly by school jock culture.
They targeted some of their tormentors. Administration did little to nothing to help them with the bullying.
IMO we still haven't learned or accepted the "real reason" for Columbine. We react to the symptoms, and do little to address the cause.
Children With the Angels in the Sky is the background music in this piece:
You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony

Re: Sol Pais found dead in Colorado from self-inflicted wound
As always, you do beautiful work.
I cannot imagine the pain, fear, and outrage of the parents of children murdered by their fellow students, but especially when the roots of the fury of the killer(s) can be traced directly back to authorities' failure to act when they should have.
