DENVER — A student arrested in the shootings of two people who were found dead in a dorm room last week at a Colorado college was the roommate of one of the victims, police said Tuesday.
Nicholas Jordan, 25, is suspected of killing Samuel Knopp, 24, and Celie Rain Montgomery, 26, at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs on Friday.
Jordan lived with Knopp at the university about 69 miles south of Denver, Colorado Springs police spokeperson Caitlin Ford. Ford did not know Montgomery’s relationship to the two men and did not have any information about what may have motivated the shooting.
Jordan was a student at the university at the time, university spokesperson Jenna Press. Knopp was also a student, but Montgomery was not enrolled, police said.
