Police say a man who fatally shot six people at a Colorado birthday party before killing himself was upset after not being invited to the weekend gathering key16239 thrown by his girlfriend’s family.
Colorado Springs police said the shooter, 28-year-old key16238 Teodoro key16242 Macias, had been in a relationship with one of the victims for about a year and had a history of controlling and jealous behavior.

“At the core of this horrific act is domestic violence,” police key16232 chief key16235 Vince Niski said, adding that the gunman had “displayed power and control issues” in the relationship.

Investigators do not know yet how Macias got the weapon, which police described as a Smith & Wesson handgun originally purchased by someone else in 2014 at a local gun store and not key16236 reported stolen.
