The gunman believed to have killed four people at a megachurch and a missionary training school had been thrown out of the school about three years ago and had been sending the place hate mail, police said in court papers Monday.

The gunman was identified as Matthew Murray, 24, who was home-schooled by his family and raised in what a friend said was a deeply religious Christian household. Murray's father is a neurologist and a leading multiple-sclerosis researcher.

Five people — including Murray — were killed, and five others wounded Sunday in the two eruptions of violence 12 hours and 65 miles apart.

The first attack took place at Youth With a Mission, a training center for missionaries in the Denver suburb of Arvada; the other occurred at the New Life Church in Colorado Springs, where Murray was shot to death by a security guard. The missionary training center maintains an office at the 10,000-member church.

"Through both investigations it has been determined that most likely the suspect in both shootings are one in the same," police said in court papers, confirming what investigators suspected early on.

Colorado Springs police said the "common denominator in both locations" was Youth With a Mission.

Second shooting within 2 days. This time at the New Life Church. This would be the Evangelical church founded by Ted Haggard, the man who enjoys sex with male prostitutes while snorting methamphetamines.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - The church where a gunman opened fire after a Sunday service is closed today, as crews work to repair any damage done during the shooting spree.

Senior Pastor Brady Boyd of New Life Church in Colorado Springs said trauma counselors were being made available today at the Rockrimmon Campus Community Center of Woodmen Valley Chapel.

Boyd said members of New Life Church would meet as a church family at some point this week to begin the process of grieving and recovery.

He said care would be provided for those who were wounded, and for the family who lost two children.

But Boyd said the church would be good -- that it would be strong and survive.

Thats kind of crazy... i wouldn't even think to look at a trend like that. though it makes sense when anti-depression drug commericials warn of possible side effects of horrible depression (how that works im not sure).

yeah, i'm sure anti-depressants work wonders for some people... and the feeling they describe while on them is "detachment"

but drugs don't work the same in everyone's body so i'm sure the "detachment" characteristic has something to do with these shootings since the shooters can detach from any and all human emotion/compassion... the mass shooters are usually described as "robots"
