2nd church gunman report includes photos, phone conversations

ARVADA – The Arvada Police Department has released its report on the December shootings at Youth With a Mission dormitories.

The police report contains previously undisclosed details of the Arvada Police investigation into Matthew Murray's shooting rampage.

His December 9 rampage killed two people at Youth With a Mission and two at New Life Church in Colorado Springs.

The report will include hundreds of images that have yet to be released including photos of Murray's bedroom and crime scene photos from Arvada. It also contains witness accounts of the shootings, 911 calls and police radio traffic.

Murray's computer was also examined, showing that Murray had accessed pornography as well as information about previous school shootings. Those include the shootings at Columbine, Omaha and Virginia Tech.

The report was released on DVD and costs $40.

Colorado Springs Police released their 450-page report on March 12.

That report included pictures of weapons used to kill four people and a detailed timeline of where gunman Matthew Murray was and when.

New information revealed in the Colorado Springs Police report included five syringes found in Murray's bedroom that contained an unknown liquid. It was later analyzed by the FDA and found to be an herbal substance, that when injected, would make a person violently ill.

Also new in the previous report, was the fact that a box of bullets was mailed to Matthew Murray at his home. They were intercepted by his parents who confronted him about them.

Murray family spokeswoman Casey Nikoloric says Murray told his parents he ordered the bullets "because he was going hunting with friends."

Colorado Springs also released a handwritten one-and-a-half page letter addressed to God that asks for help, curses God and Jesus and asks "who the real Christians are?"

On Dec. 9, just after midnight, Murray showed up at the Youth With a Mission center with a handgun after he had asked to spend the night and been told no.

Murray had previously gone there for training. On his return, he shot and killed Tiffany Johnson and Phillip Crouse.

Approximately 13 hours later, Murray went to the New Life Church in Colorado Springs. He walked into the parking lot and shot and killed sisters Stephanie and Rachel Works of Colorado Springs. Their father David was shot twice, but survived.

The Arvada report includes a timeline of these events and phone conversations that took place after the initial shootings in Arvada.
