Twenty-three-year-old Jeremy Webster told police he started taking a new prescription medication for mental health issues Thursday, just hours before he settled a driving dispute with his Glock 19 handgun, according to a search warrant affidavit.

The road-rage encounter, which started at a busy street corner and ended at a Westminster office complex, took no more than 10 minutes.

Thirteen-year-old Vaughn Bigelow is dead. His 41-year-old mother, Meghan, and 8-year-old brother, Asa, are in critical condition at a hospital. A bystander, John Gale, is recuperating from gunshot wounds to both arms.

Webster is being held without bond at the Adams County Detention Facility for investigation of first-degree murder, criminal attempt to commit murder with extreme indifference and first-degree assault.

.......

The man suddenly pulled out a handgun and shot Meghan Bigelow repeatedly. When she fell to the pavement, the man aimed his gun at Vaughn and Asa and shot each of them multiple times. The man then began walking to his car. He then turned around, walked back to the family and again shot Vaughn, who was lying on the ground, the affidavit says.

Only Cooper managed to run to a building and get inside without being wounded.

The shooter than looked over at Gale, who was sitting with his 9-year-old daughter in his truck. The man walked toward Gale and started shooting at him as he put his truck in reverse and sped out of the parking lot. Gale's daughter was not injured.

...


Just another guy the NRA want's to have a gun.

If I knew somebody was following me and my children I don't think I would stop until I ran out of gas or found a police station.

He went back to shoot the 13-year old kid on the ground some more? Jesus...

Get your shit under control U.S. Mental health support and reduced or eliminated access to guns is so brain-dead obvious the thing to do.

You need to change the title to MURDERED, because that's exactly what this asshole did

trying to blame this on prescription medication he barely took hours before this incident; i bet NRA pricks will use that as a scape goat

This is why I don't fraternize with gun owners. No one knows when they'll snap. It's like having a neighbor with a spitting cobra he likes to take for walks.

Somebody needs to ask the NRA which gun they recommend for murdering American children. I wonder how they would answer that.

Thoughts and prayers and if only this man was getting help for his undiagnosed mental health issues, I mean is there really anything else society could have done to prevent this?

Terrifying and heartbreaking for the victims. Road rage is no joke. Mix with easy access to guns and mental issues....big city driving in red or purple states is an exercise in self control.

If you're being followed please drive to the nearest police station or police car if you see one this happens way way too often.

Tragic and horrible. And it highlights a glaring issue. You can be 'sane' and legally get a gun. But will you always be 'sane'? What happens then? Not saying this is what's happened here of course. But many people seem to be quite 'normal' but have a breakdown or other serious emotional issue later and they just so happen to own a gun (or two, or three, or...). Mental health issues are not the reason why people are being killed by guns. Guns are the reason why people are being killed by guns.

There isn't any medication that fixes a mind that goes back to make sure a 13-year-old is dead.

I have no idea what mental health related drug could possibly be at all related to this, especially in the few hours after its first usage.

Tragic. Avoidable. Mindless. Merica.


People, dont yell at other drivers..dont flip em off..dont act tough because you are in a car.

My wife has a habit of being a bit 'short' with other drivers...ive told her " you are gonna flip of the wrong dude one day ". Just drive.

And if someone gets out of their car and starts walking your way. GTFO of there. Dont stand your ground.

Most people in countries other than the US don't even see a gun in their life. US is so fucked up.

I have to assume it's going to be his defense: "I just got on some medicine and it hadn't helped yet. If only I'd been on it sooner, I wouldn't have gone crazy!"

I definitely feel like this story highlights the need for more guns for everyone. Everyone needs more guns.

So now even shooters themselves are going to make it a mental health issue and for some reason people are going to listen to them instead of public safety experts.

The hell does that have to do with anything? People shout and argue during traffic all the time. It rarely ever ends like this. That's not really the issue here.

A family completely broken because of some hot tempered dickhead with a gun.
There was a father of four that got blown away around here just because he got to a parking space before someone else.

Christ all mighty... just goes to show that you never know what your day might bring when you wake up in the morning. Horrible.

So please explain to me why this dude needs a trial. Like we know he did it. He wasn't born shit, lived a shitty life, and will die shit. His mom and dad ain't shit too. Should have had his bloodline eradicated.

Take him out back and do him just like he did those people.

Oh yeah NRA ain't shit too.

The fuck...

Killing a 13 year old and critically injuring the dead kid's mother and younger brother wasn't enough for this fuck
