Suspect in fatal Colorado university dorm shooting was a roommate of one of the victims, police say


The suspect arrested on murder charges in the fatal shooting of two people at a University of Colorado Colorado Springs dorm was the roommate of one of the victims, police said. 

Colorado Springs Police Chief Adrian Vasquez on Tuesday morning confirmed to NBC News that suspect Nicholas Jordan, 25, of Detroit, was the roommate of victim Samuel Knopp, a senior at the school. 

Knopp, 24, and Celie Rain Montgomery, 26, who was not a student, were found dead Friday at the university’s Crestone House residence. 

Jordan is a student at the university, the school confirmed. 

The deaths triggered an hourlong campus lockdown until it was determined there was no active shooter, and were being investigated as homicides.
