Two adults were found dead at Jehovah’s Witnesses Kingdom Hall in Thornton, Colo., after an alleged murder-suicide incident on Christmas morning. Police shared that an unidentified adult male is believed to have shot his wife before killing himself at about 9 a.m.on Sunday, Christmas Day. Police say the two adults were former members of the congregation, which is located in the suburb of Denver.
Thornton Police Department said in its press release posted on Twitter: “On a day that is historically associated with joy, family and fun, we’re saddened to inform you of the following. The investigation is still active, witnesses being interviewed, scene being examined. Still no known threats to the Thornton community.”
The Thornton Police Department said the Adams County Sheriff’s Office Hazardous Material Unit is investigating a suspicious device found at the scene. Witnesses say that a gun was fired in the parking lot of the hall Sunday morning. The suspect also threw a molotov cocktail, starting a fire inside the building.
Kingdom Hall holds three services on Sundays. An internal message to the congregation said: “Dear friends, today’s meeting will be held on Zoom due to a tragic incident that occurred at the Kingdom Hall this morning. Various reports are in the news however we don’t have all the information at this time. Please be assured that the local Bodies of Elders will be caring for the needs of the affected Congregations.”

The death toll from the winter storm sweeping across large parts of the continental United States has risen to at least 37. Many of those deaths were due to weather-related traffic accidents or from the cold, while some were the result of first responders not being able to treat medical conditions quickly enough because of the hazardous weather conditions. The storm also caused hundreds of thousands to lose power in more than a dozen states and delayed and canceled thousands of flights
Buffalo, N.Y., has been one of the hardest-hit location in the United States, with at least 12 people confirmed dead amid the storm. The National Weather Service said that 43 inches of snow had fallen at Buffalo’s airport as of 7 a.m. Sunday. The storm brought hurricane-force winds and created whiteout conditions as it battered the area. A bomb cyclone, which happens when atmospheric pressure drops sharply in a strong storm, developed over the Great Lakes and sent temperatures well below freezing throughout much of the country.
CNN also reported that eight people died from weather-related car crashes in Ohio, including four who were killed in a 46-car pileup on the Ohio Turnpike on Saturday. Police in Colorado Springs, Colo., reported that two people have died from the cold since Thursday, and three people died in weather-related traffic accidents in Kansas, three died in Kentucky and Missouri, and Tennessee and Wisconsin have each reported one traffic-related death.
