Agency Assist

DETECTJVE ASSIGNED: DE W caver, OSN 9920

On 12/13/13 I was directed to assist in an Active Shooter incident· taking place at Arapahoe High School, in Unincorporated Arapahoe County, Colorado.

Initially I was instructed to go to an assembly pojnt located at a church near the high school. I was subsequently re-directed to:

While eruoute I was advised agents from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms &. Explosives, (A TF) were at the - addrc!s and a detective from Douglas County Sheriff's Office was requested to join them.

1 lUTivcd at the - address at about 1445/1450 hrs and as 1 arrived I observed several armed individuals wearing ballistic vest with identification displayed on the vest, front and back, with the initials A TF and or A TF Agent.

I parked my unmarked duty care and walked towards the individuals and was approached by an individual who identified himself to me as the supervisory Special Agent with the ATF, J.C. Russell.

He advised me entry was made to the residence at and there were no individuaJs inside the residence. the residence had a strong odor of suspected gasoline, a bedroom believed to be used by Karl Halverson Pierson, the suspected school shooter. had documentation associated with a Savage shotgun and shotgun sh~Hs.

l was also told ATF agents had spoken to Karl's mother, who I was told was in Minnesota.

Deputy Monis anived we initiated a Crime Scene Log. l requested all the ATF Agents at the - address sign the Crime Scene Jog, which they did. The start time for the crime scene log was 1515 hrs.

The A TF agents had crime scene tape and we started to establish a crime scene area.

We made contac1 with three neighbors who live across the street from Kapral .. - · Lance Farr, - ·and Johanna Van De Wege, . We advised them they could leave but we could not assure them they would be allowed to return as we did not know what may develop as the invc:stigatlon continued. ·

We also asked them if they knew the family living at . We were told they knew the son and thought he went to Arapahoe High School, was on the debate team and/or ran track. The son (Karl) was described as polite. No one we spoke to provided any infonnalion regarding Karl's activjties on 12/13/13.

WbiJe on scene numerous repre.sentatives from the local media arrived and positioned themselves juxtaposed to the C~ the crime scene entry point. I requested a DCSO PIO be dispatched to the --location and Lt Peit?.meicr and Deputy Teller arrived and assisted in communicatin& with the media.

Douglas County sheriffs Office Tony Spurlock, Undersherlff OSN#8003

On December 13, 2013 at approximately 1240 ti rs I received Information from Doustas County Regional Dispatch center, Arapahoe County Sheriffs Office Just aired an active shooter call at Arapahoe High SchOo\. I notified Chief Tim Moore In person and called Chief Ho\ly Nicholson-Kluth. 1 advised them to notify their staff and that I was responding from Castle Rock.

At appro>eimatefy 1300 hrs I arrived at the Intersection of University Blvd and Dry Creek and was advised the scene was secure, one male suspect down, two females were transported to a local hospital. I was advised a number of students were evacuated to a shopping center south of the high school and north into a field. I was requested to 1Sslst Chief Nicholson-Kluth at the Shepard of the Hills Church just south of the King Soopers on University Blvd.

I called Sheriff Weaver to advise him of the asencv assist and told him we had approximately 50 staff members at the school or responding. I also advised him all the Douglas County Schools were on lock In with our SRO's on site In Douglas County. I further advised him Ceptaln Denes along with a number of Lieutenants remained in Douslas County to manage anv Issues. The swing shift teams were called In early and the day shifts were notified they would be held over.

Before responding to the Shepard of the Hills Church, I assisted In directing students and parents from r · the King Soopers parking lot to the church. At one time we had members of the Colorado State Wild Life

officers, South Metro Fire personal and members of the United States Army, from a recruiting office assisting.

Once at the reunification location, Chief Nicholson-Kluth commanded the north side of the church while I managed the south. A process was developed with the Arapahoe High School staff to reunite the students with their parents. The process was to Identify the students place their names on a list and then go outside where the parents were waiting and call out names of the parents. We had each parent slg11 out any chlld under 18 years old. Any child 18 or older was allowed to sign themselves out and leave the Church. A special location was set aside for students that needed to be Interviewed by detectives as was an area for sJ,ecial needs studenu. Any student that approeched school mff or law enforcement and Indicated they had seen the shooting or had any Information were taken to several rooms to be int~rviewed by law enforcement. This process took approximately four hours.

once all the students from the church were reunited with parents Chief Nicholson-Kluth and I responded to the Command Post were we checked out ofservice.

'· Case#: 2013-114450 and 2013-114475 Cue Type: Agency A.uist

On December 13, 2013 at approximately 12:41 hours, I was notified via a page that there was an active shooter at Arapah~ High School, 2201 East Dry Creek Road. Centennial, CO. I was with

Captain Robert McMahan In his assigned black Chevy Tahoe at about 1·25 and E. Belleview

Avenue. We headed West on£. Belleview Avenue and then South on Quebec Street until we

made it to E. Arapahoe Road where we drove westbound. We were responding with lights and

siren and we fell in behind a marted Arapahoe County Sherriff's (ACSO, marked unit around E.

Arapahoe Road and Colorado. We followed this ACSO vehlcle all the way into the Incident at the

school.

At about 12:45 hours, I contacted Lt. Duffy over the phone and advised him of the situation and requested his response. He was at the Highlands Ranch Substation and Immediately went

enroute. He additionally dispatched other irw.estigative resources.

Just prior to our arrival, I received a ffeond page that informed us that there was possibly one

shooter and he mav have kltled himself.

We arrived at approximately 12:55 hours and pulled into the Arapahoe High School parking lot

in the Nortn East corner. We parked in the second row of parking and I noticed that the lot was

fll!ins up rapidly with responding police officers from many jurisdictions. We were both In plain

clothes and Captain McMahan had his raid vest and rifle. I was wearing a dress shirt and tie

with a badge on my belt next to my handg~n. I retrieved a shotgun from the gunlock In Captain McMahan's vehicle.

I Immediately noticed Lt. Chris George (ACSO) about ten feet away. I addltlonally noticed that it

appeared that he was assembling responding officerl In teams and sending them in. I

approached him and asked if he was the Incident Commander (IC) and he told me that he was. I told him that we would assist him with estabHshlng an Incident Command Post (ICP). I went back to captain McMahan's Tahoe and retrieved the IC board; this consists of a large fold out dry erase board and other organizational tools. I retumed and opened It on the hood of a vehicle, at that time we collectively a1reed that the ICP was too close to the Incident with the amount of responding units end personnel we needed to immediately move the ICP. I jumped into Lt. George's vehicle and we moved the ICP East across the street to the area between the Chase bank and the Burger King.

At this location, we resumed coordination of responding units and IC until Lt. George was

relieved by Bureau Chief Vince Une as the IC. Communication between all:of the different

responding jurisdictions was difficult based on heavy radio traffic. We were additionally having

trouble making or receiving cellular phone ca Us as It appeared that the cellular towers were

JDK9109


I DOUGLAS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE

Progress Report Jason Kennedy, 9209

overwhelmed with the volume of activity. Inspector Travis Steward (ACSO) and Captain

McMahan coordinated the outside perimeter while several of us to Include Commander Enley

(Littleton PO) and Commander Varney (Greeenwood Village PD) attempted to continue to track

the rescue teams and arriving SWAT personnel In and out of the school. Personnel continued to

arrive and they were sent in teams over to the school.

I started a sign in log for IC and it was passed amongst the group.

While conducting coordination at the IC, I was approached by Deputy Ruis! (DCSO) who advised

me tl'tat he was off duty ilnd In the area. Knowing that we already hild ICP security, I offered

him my shotgun If he could find some protective gear and Identification, as he was wearing a

sweats and hoody. He was able to locate the gear and Identification, so I gave him my shotgun

and he was placed In a team to be sent over to the school .

I spoke with Lt. Heaton (ACSO) and offered him investigative resources from OCSO for the large

amount of lnter\.lews that needed to be completed. It was decided that the investigative

resources would· be needed at the reunification location, which was planned for the Shepherd of

the Hills Lutheran Church just South of the school on University. I sent both Lt. Duffy and Lt.

McCarty te11t messages to have every available detective respo'nd to this location to assist with

Interviews (some text messaging was working). This was later changed to Euclid Middle School

at 777 W. Euclid Avenue. The Investigative rt-sources were updated.

A large group of students had made their way over to the Westside of the Burger King, direc.tly

nl!Xt to the ICP and It appeared there were several teachers with them. Commander Varney

and I contacted the group and they were separated with the help of the teachers Into those that

heard things and those that witnessed the crime. There appeared to be about fifteen students

that were eyewitnesses. I was able to contact Lt. Heaton with ACSO and obtained authorization

to have the eyewitnesses Interviewed: I asked FBI Special Agent Jonathan Grusing if he had

some FBI agents that would Interview these students and he agreed. I told him that he would

be reportir11 back to Lt. Heaton. I additionally assigned Detective Stadler (DCSO) to assist FBI SA Gruslng with the Interviews when he appeared at the ICP. I did see that Chief Jackson (Greenwood VIiiage PD) had gone over to the group to assist a.s well.

I became part of the Tactical Command and it was decided to move Into the Chase bank. Just

prior to moving Into the bank I noticed several school maintene1nce personnel standing on the sidewalk. I had previously asked ACSO for school maps and was told that they did not have any.

One of maintenance personnel told me that he had maps/diagrams in his vehicle. I told him to

go retrieve them as we needed the ASAP. Once inside the bank we continued with our

ilHlgnment. I asked the b1nk manager to make copies of the school maps/diagrams and posted

them for the Tactical Command group. By this time, we had representatives from all of the

different tactical teams deployed tn or around the sc:hool.

2 JDK9209


r DOUGLAS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE .

Progrus Report Jason Kennedy, 9209

I took copie$ of the school maps/diagrams out front of the bank where SWAT was assembling and handed copies out to several of the teams. I was infonned that many of the teams had

already deployed to the circle drive on the South side of the school. The roads all around were

blocked off so I ran several more copies across the street to the teams at the front doors of the

school. I returned to the Tactical Command and asked that school security bring up the inside

cameras on the bank computers. school security began to attempt to do so and were not

successful.

There were too many people In the Bank and it was too noisy for Tactical Command so

Commander Varney found the ACSO mobile command post, which had rec~ntly arrived, and

Tactical Command was moved to this vehicle. Once inside we had the following core group of

Tactical Command:

Lieutenant George (ACSO Tactical Command)

Commander Varney (GWVPO)

captain Weekly (OCSO)

Commander Enley (LPD)

SA Humphrey (FBI)

Bureau Chief Moore (OCSO)

Chief Vargo (SMF)

We went through several operatlonal phases and continued to send updates to the IC.

The IC informed us that the devlce(s) that were located In the library were Molotov cocktails in a

green beer bottles. There had not been any other type of devices found and we made the

tactical teams aware of this. We had additionally paired up bomb techs and doas with each team during the bu!ldlng searches.

I have attached the different operational phases and plans which were executed during the

Incident. These show the assignments for each phase. I have attached the 31 pages of these

phases and plans.

For the final sweep, we brousht all of the team leaders (Tls} over to the Tactical Command Post

and gave them written Instruction for the third and final slow sweep. We ensured that the

teams were hydrated and uninjured.

We were able to obtain keys from the school maintenance personnel to ac.cess several doors that were locked and they provided ACSO SWAT better information about the tunnels under the

school so that they could be cleared.

PROGRESS REPORT


DETECTIVE ASSIGNED: Mike Trindle

On 12/13/2013, at approximately 12:45 hours, J received a page for the DCSO SWAT team to respond to Arapahoe High School for an active shooter inside the school. I attempted to contact Lt. Banella to ask if the DCSO Bomb Squad was requested to respond as well. I was unable to make contact with Lt. Barrella and later learned he was involved in the initial response to the school. I then contacted Deputy Vetter who was the on-<:all bomb technician. We decided that we would respond and I would bring the bomb truck from Evtech.

I arrived in the area of University and Ory Creek with the bomb truck at approximately 13 :40 hours. I spoke with Deputy Vetter in the parking lot of a strip mall east of Arapahoe High School. Deputy Vetter said he was preparing to enter the school with DCSO SWAT. He told me to find a place to park and get my gear. The parking lot was near grid lock and after parking, SWAT was already gone. I donned my gear and responded to the command post near the Burger King. I asked if there were any SWAT teams that still needed a bomb technician but all of the teams had already left for the school.

Deputy Vetter then text me and asked me to assemble the open vision x-ray due to a large number of backpacks that need to be cleared. I went back to the bomb truck and assembled the x-ray.

Approximately an hour later, Lt. Barrella asked me to respond to the southwest comer of the school. I joined DCSO SWAT B team and assisted them with searching the gym, locker rooms, pool, wrestling room and basement.

After leaving the school, the DCSO Bomb Squad responded to the shooter's residence in Highlands Ranch. We waited for the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office to obtain a search warrant for the residence. Once the search warrant was obtained, we cleared the house for any explosive dangers and none were found. We remained on scene until the ACSO investigators completed their search.

2013-0011475

On this date, I was nt the investigative offices of the Douglas County Shcrifrs Investigations Division when I received notice of an Active Shooter at the Arapahoe High School. At that point, I directed our administrative secretary to prt:pare a page to be sent to all investigators explaining the situation and to put detectives 011 a standby mode. At that point, I received a call from Sgt. Jason Weavtr who informed me that he was available and could respond if needed. I requested that Sgt. Weaver respond to our lnvesr igative offices. Shortly after. l received a text message from Captain Kennedy requesting all available detectives respond to a location just off of Broadway near Dry C:eek Road, whi<;h was approximately a mile away from Arapahoe High School. Once I arrived to the area of Ory Creek Road, I asked our administrative secretary to upda1e the page sent out to dirccl detectives to Sl. Timothy Church located at Clarkson and Dry Creek, which was approximately 2 blocks away from AHS.

As Sgt. Weaver arrived to the Church, I was informed by Chief Moore via the radio that witnesses were arriving at Euclid Middle School and needed lo be interviewed. At that point, I sent Sgt. Weaver directly to Euclid to s1ar1 interviews. Shortly after that, I directed Det. Herring to the school as well to assist Sgt. Weaver. ApproximaceJy 30 minulcs later, I was contacted by

Detective Aragon that she was in the area, at which time 1 sem her to Euclid os well.

During this same time frame, it was learned that the suspect in the case(Karl Pierson) residence was a in Highlands Ranch. It was learned that ACSO had sent A TF agenrs to the residence to check for any other signs of criminal activity. At that point, Chief Moore requested that we send detectiv1.:s to lhis location, in which 1 directed Detectives David

Weaver and Kevi1~ Bechert to meet with ATF at lhe - address (see Det. Weaver's and

Bcchcrt's supplement for further).


2013·0011475

[nfonna1ion was provided that witnesses were also responding to the Sheppard of the Hills Church, al which time I sent Detectives Stadler, Spezzano, Ahlberg and Rodrique to assist and conduct interviews.

l was advised by Detective Spezzano that interviews were complete at Sheppard of the Hills Church, nt which point I redirected Spezzano, Stadler, Ahlberg and Rodrique to Euclid to assist and finish up interviews there.

During this process, I was asked by Captain Kennedy to check history of the

- · to include all occupants. I spoke to Sgt. McMillan over the phone and asked for this information. Sgt. McMillan stated that there was a reported disturbance in 2009 between the parcnh of the suspect, which resuhed in no criminal report. No additional history at the address,

except for a minor tratlic infraction was noted(See Sgt. McMillan's supplement for additional).

After speaking to CBI Assistant Director Steve Johnson, I infonned him that I will have a contingent of detectives ready and available for crime scene processing Saturday morning if he would like to acgment investigators from the CDI and the Arapahoe County Sherifrs Office. Those who arc available are:

Lt. Troy A. McCarty Sgt. Jason Weaver Det. Chris Stadler

Det. David Weaver Det. Brian Ahlberg Oct. Paul Rodrique Del. Michael Duffy Del. Angela Spczzano (If needed) Del. Dea Aragon (If needed)

All detectives wcr~ told that this was an "Availability List" and that they will hear directly from me if ACSO or the CBI request we respond.

As the investigation at the AHS scene was progressing and the tactical response was completed, I relocated to as th~ scene command. Once on scene, l was contacted by Lt Tom Barrella who informed me that he and his bomb team were in position and ready to secure the house once ACSO gets on scene with the search warrant. Lt. Barrcila asked

about a trash can that was sitting on 1hc sidewalk in fmnt of the driveway of the -

residence. Lt . Barrella inquired if they could move the trash can, and after conferring with Sgt.

2013-00 11475

Bruce Peterson of the ACSO Investigations Division, it was okay with him, as long as the trash can was photographed and location was documented. Lt. Ilarrella coordinated that effort.

At th~ command post, [ spoke to A Tf Supervisory Special Agent Jeff Russell who advised that his office received informat ion that the suspect, Karl Pierson, had purchased the

weapon used in the shooting at Cabela's, which was located in the City of Lone Tree. At thal point, J assigned Detective Pollard to assist 2 additional ATF agents to gain the information on

the weapon purchase.

I spoke to CBI Assistant Director Steve Johnson over the phone, at which time it was detennined that I would send Detective David Weaver to his location to assist with the crime scene. Approximately an hour after that, Oct. Weaver returned to my location and infonncd me that he

was not needed at the school. At that point, Oct. Weaver was rcleas~d from the -scene.

I again spoke to Sgt. Bruce Peterson of the AC.SO who advised that the wanant work up was in progress and he would advise when it was compleled. I advised Sgt. Peterson on our status and avai lability al the location.

Having enough personnel at the scene, I sent Det. Bechert and Sgt. Weaver both home, in the event that they could be called back the next day if needed. Before Sgt. Weaver lefl, he made

arrangements for Det. Le Master to be on scene in the event the search warrant went later into the evening.

At approximately 2200, Detectives and CS l's from the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Otlice arrived on scene to execute the search warrant. At that time, DCSO Bomb Squad, at the request of the ACSO, entered the house securing the residence of nny potent ial secondary devices and explosives.

Al 2320, Detectives indicated that they have located several pieces of evidence that would link the suspect to the weapon purchase, as welt as additional evidence linking him to rhc incident al

Arapahoe High School.

At upproximately 0040, all ACSO detectives completed the search and released the scene back to

us for se\:uring. I had Deccctive Le Master coordinate with COCA T Restoration and Reconstruction to secure the front door, which was dumagcd during A TF's entry into the

residence.

2013-0011450

On 12/13/2013 I was driving on C470 west in the area of Quebec Street when I heard

radio traffic on the Douglas County Main channel advising of a shooting at Arapahoe High

School. I drove using my emergency lights to the high school with several other police vehicles.

When I arrived I contacted Lt. Cataffo who requested I join a fonning immediate

response team and enter the building. I entered the south side building with a group of four

officers. We entered the building near the cafeteria and cleared a central group of classrooms contacting several staff and approximately 50 students sheltering there. A route secured by officers to a south exit of the building was established and the students and staff from these

classrooms were directed to evacuatt to the south side of the building.

At the request of an Arapahoe County Captain I entered a hallway to the north and west

of the cafeteria and started checking hallways and classrooms for students with other officers. We located several class rooms on the "N" Social Studies hallway that had students and staff sheltering in place. At this point there were numerous officers available inside the school and no active threat information. I posted myself in a position where I could control the Social Studies

Hallway and the north exterior door of that hallway.

The incident command on Arapahoe's main channel announced that the evacuation point for students in the building would be the north athletic fields. I opened the north hallway door for two members of the Arapahoe County tactical team and they requested r escort the students from

the "N" hallway classrooms to the north athletic fields. I lead approximately 60 students and staff

to the truck at the north side of the school.


2013-001 1450

Al the track I assisted officers in searching students who were then grouped by classroom and waited for the creation of the reunification system. I stood guard for about an hour with the evacuated students until they were all released to the busses.

I walked to the command post and spoke with Lt. McCarty who a:;signed me to the Investigations detail at in Highlands Ranch.

On 12/13/2013 after leaving Arapahoe High School os o.n accive shooter responder r contacted Lt. McCarty at the command post and he requested that I respond to in

Highlands Ranch. This was the residence of Karl Pierson the shoorer at Arapahoe High School.

When I arrived I ~ontacted Detective David Weaver at the scene. He requested that I respond to the Highlands Ranch Substation to do an assessor's search on the property and check for relevant history on Pierson and his family.

I conducted the assessor's search and looked up in house records on Pierson and the household residents. There was very linle family history and no record of Karl Pierson in Douglas County records. CCIC showed no criminal history for Karl Pierson.

I received school identification records from Douglas County Schools for Karl Pierson and his . I also requested and received a M V 0 record for Pierson.

r returned with this information to and found that this information was no longer needed on scene because it had been determined that Arapahoe County detectives would be working on the i;earch warrant.

•• • Interview with -

- who described himself as Karl Pierson's best friend and told officers the following:

He heard about the shooting while he was at school and was concerned for Pie~son.


2013-0011475

He checked Pierson 's "Facebook" account and found things on it that concerned him.

He heard· later thnt Pierson had been the shooter.

When he arrived home from school he decided to walk to Pierson's house.

said the following :

While he was at school he heard about the shooting at Arapahoe High School and thought of his friend Karl Pierson.

Pierson had attended school wi th him when they were younger and they were still friends.

About a week and a half ago Karl had come over to his house but because - had another friend over he asked Karl to come back another time.

He later sent Karl a message but did not hear back from him.

He has contact with Karl about once a week.

When he heard about the shooting he was first concerned for Karl ' s safety and sent him a message.

Karl does not have a cell phone.

He checked Karl's website and saw changes that made him worry that Karl could have been involved in the shooting.

The main change he noliced was the main photo had been replaced by an image

containing photos/images of Paul Walker (Movie star from the "Fast and furious" movies), Nelson Mandela and the animated dog Bryan (from the TV show "Family

Guy"). Walker and Madela both recently died and the dog Bryan had died in the TV

show.

He knew that Karl had been suspended from school a few months ago in an incident

where he yelled at a teacher.

2013-0011475

I-le could tell Karl had taken his parent's divorce "hard,, but couldn't point to specific

ind icarions of that.

He later saw Facebook postings on Kori's Faccbook page that indicated Karl had been the

shooter.

He decided to walk to Karl's house.

He didn1t think Karl had a girlfriend now but he did have one last year.

He didn't know Karl to own guns but Karl had mentioned shooling al a camp last summer.

Nothing he knew had indicated a problem coming.

Karl attended Arapahoe High School because when his parent's separated one of his parent's moved north in rhat area.

He was shocked that Karl had hurt people because he was always ''such a good kid".

I viewed Karl PieiSon's Foccbook site using-'friend" status and observed the following:

The main photo had been changed to Walker, Mandela and Brynn on December 5111•

There was a post of him holding an AR 15 style rifle at what appeared to be a covered

rifle rnnge at a summer camp.

On December 61h he posted that the movie "Natural Born Killers" was a '~favorite" of l11s.

On December I l'h he posted a link to a Suicidal Tendencies video of their song "Institutionalized,, with the cornmen1 "ft's a suicidal type of day".

I took several pictures of the Facebook postings and was then informed by Agent Roberts I hat he had just received word that the Arapahoe County Sheri er s Office now had ctCCCSS to the page nnd would be doing a review of it.

After concluding our interview I returned to

Record" completed by Pierson and store staff and a copy of the store's "Firearm History Screen".

Pierson appeared to have provided all accurate information for the firearms transaction.

I requested a copy of the sales circular for the week of December 61h from the staff and they

provided me an archived copy. On page twelve of the circular the Stevens by Savage 320 was advertised on sale. This circular was placed into evidence.

Tim Darcey reviewed video of the transaction created a video containing the following:

Pierson entering the store alone at approximately 1902 hours through the front door.

Pierson walking directly to the gun counter and to a part of the gun counter where "tactical" weapons are stored at approximately 1905 hours .

An employee identified as Karl "Scott" Phillips showed him a single shotgun, the Savage 320. Pierson holds the gun, places it to his shoulder and levels it a single time before

handing it back to Phillips who then points to the background check computers.

At 1909 hours Pierson leaves the gun counter and proceeds to the back ground check computers and then to the NICS desk where he submits his paperwork and pays the background check fee. He is provided a buzzer to let him know when his check is completed.

At approximately 2012 hours Pierson looks at ammunition in the shotgun ammunition

aisle but does not appear to select any. He also browses in the aisle containing slings.

2013-0011475

At 2106 Pierson approaches a cashier and pays for the gun in cash. While at the counter Pierson counts the cash prior to purchase. At one point Pierson did look nervous or impatient and was tapping him fingers on the counter. The cashier Derric Brones can be seen checking the paperwork and rechecking the serial number on the gun before reboxing it and handing it to Pierson.

Pierson did appear to either send or receive a text message while at the checkout counter.

Pierson then walked with the gun directly out into the parking lot, entered his car alone

and drove away.

Tim Dorcey did not create a seamless video of Pierson for the entire hour he was browsing in the store waiting for the background check because of time constraints. He will make a complete video tomorrow and provide it to Agent Feltz.

Mr. Dorcy conducted a check of credit card transaction and reward transactions using Pierson's name but no other transactions were able to be connected with Pierson at this time.

I conducted an interview of Karl "Scott" Phillips who showed the shot gun to Pierson with

Agent Ben Byrd. Phillips was show the short video clip of his interaction with Pierson and he

said the following:

He works approximately 15 hours a week. And Came in on Friday the 61h at about

6:oopm.

He had worked at Cabela 's since August of this year.

He doesn't remember dealing with Pierson or anything he may have said.

The video does show him dealing with Pierson.

The Savage shotgun Pierson chose is "One of our least expensive guns, we sell a lot of them., Price may have been a factor."

I showed Mr. Phill ips a picture of driver's license picture of Pierson on my phone and asked if he recognized him and Mr. Phillips said he did not.

I conducted an interview of Derric Branes who checked out Pierson and reviewed his

background check paperwork with Agent Ben Byrd. Mr. Brones was shown the video clip of

the transaction and told us the following:

5


2013-0011475

He works 40 hours a week in the firearms section and is a "Captain" in the section.

He has worked for Cabela's since June of this year and handles 50-100 gun sales a day.

He recognized himself in the video as Pierson's cashier.

He recognized his signature as the Tranferor's Signature and his initials at the "Check".

Those signatures mean that he has double checked the Serial Number, Collected the

background check fees, received payment, and checked the SKU.

I showed Mr. Brones Pierson's picture and asked if he recognized him and Mr. Brones said "Yes, I recognize him.". He said he recognized him from work. He said "He is young and I

always give younger people more attention, double check their dates of birth."

Mr. Brones said he remembers the following about the transaction:

He remembers the Air Force sweatshirt and assumed that the young man was a cadet at the Academy.

They get a lot of service members from Ft. Carson and the Air Force Academy in the store.

I remember that he paid all in cash, mostly twenties. Cash purchases for firearms are not

very unusual but he noticed it.

He did not remember anything very specific about the transaction. It had been a long and busy day.

Tim Dorcy provided me with a copy of the video he made of Pierson in the store and it will be tagged into evidence.

CASE TYPE: Arapahoe High School Shooting

DETECTIVE ASSIGNED: Detective Paul Rodrigue

On December 13, 2013, I was called out to assist in che investigation of a school shooting that occurred at Arapahoe High School. One of the tasks 1 was given was to interview some witnesses that were in the school at the time of rhe shooting. Stacey Comlis, DOB

had the most infonnation out the 3 people I spoke to. She provided me with the following infonnation:

• Cornlis is a social studies teacher who was in the social studies office, sharing birthday pie with others during a break in the school day. Her contact infonnation is as follows;

• Corolis heard what she believed to be n gun shot or a firework at approximately 1220 hrs. or about 5-10 minutes into 5111 period.

• She went into the hallway and saw a student with a gray hoodie with the hood up, "side skipping" towards her near the entrance to the library, approximately 20 yards away. She could see the student had blonde hair and she believes he was about 6' tall and his pants were light colored. She did not see him well enough lo

know who he was.

• · After moving towards her but looking in the direction of the library, (side skipping), he turned towards her and made eye contact with her. There was a boy at his locker, unaware, equal dist?.nce in-between the shooter and Cornlis. He then turned and faced towards the firsl "center hallway" nnd pointed a "barrel" down that hallway. He paused for several seconds and then fired a shot down the hallway. She could not tell if the weapon was a rifle or a pistol, she only saw the barrel.

• Al that point, Comlis was being approached from the social studies office in the rear by more people and students. She immediately began to implement the training she has received and gathered all the people behind her and Jock down in the social studies office. She remained there with I student and about 5 other adults until she was told to leave by members of SWAT.


DOUGLAS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFJCE INVESTIGATIONS DIVISJON

• While she was there she heard one more shot but that was not as loud and she could not tell where it came from. .

• She said she heard through the rumor mill afterwards who the Shooter was and he was not a student that she was familiar to her other than seeing him in passing at the school.

I also spoke with Karen Gerlich, DOB - · her written statement had already been collected by an Arapahoe County Deputy but she did not speak to anyone. She provided the following information:

• She was also having pie in the social studies office when she heard a gunshot

• She came out of the office and joined Corolis in the hallway. She did not arrive in time to see the second shot, but ~he did see the shooter and his "shot gun". She described him in much the same way as Cornlis.

• Gerlich helped Comlis tum others away from the shooter and broke in a different direction and went into the cafeteria to gather and remove students and notified che kitchen staff to lock down. She eventually locked down with her people in the main office conference room

• Gerlich also remembers hearing one more shot, and one of the students that was with her • . Who came running down that hall where the shooter was seen. She said he was in the library before he made his escape.

• Gerlich also henrd through the rumor mill who the shooter wus and said that, '·Karl" has been known to her since he was a 6'h grader. She said she could noc see down the hall well enough to say for sure if it was Kurl.

I also spoke with Sandra Rimbeek, 000 who was working in the cafeteria and she heard the shots. She provided the followiog infonnation:

• Her contact information is as follows:

• Rimbcck is a permanent resident alien from Germany. She works in the cafeteria as a cook.

• She reported that she was cleaning up after lunch. There were not any students left in the cafeteria, when she heard 3 loud bangs. She did not think they were

DOUGLAS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE INYESTIGA TIONS DIVISION

anything strange because there are large bans in the cafeteria all the time when people clean things and move tables etc .

• She said after the shots, a woman came to the kitchen doorway and told them there was a gunman in the school and they needed to hide. The kitchen staffed then locked sown in the kitchen office until SWAT arrived.

• Rimbeck's recollection of the shots seemed to suggest that she remembers hearing them occurring with less time in-between each shot then Cornlis and Gerlich. (Rimbeck may have been having trouble converting her memory to English.)

strands of brownish colored hair. The blood trail continued down the hallway toward the cafeteria.

My entry team continued up the stairs to the second level above the science area. During the search I

observed in three different classrooms approximately twenty to thirty students per classroom hiding

behind desks. Once the second level was secure I assisted In gathering students into one classroom for

security. While the students were exiting the class I conducted pat downs of each student for weapons

and/or injuries. The order was given to evacuate the students from my area so I assisted with the

evacuation down the stairs and out of the school. I then responded back to the upper level and ass isted

in conducting secondary and a third (slow search) of all the classrooms to include the green house.

DA TE(S) WRITTEN/UPDATED: I 2/13.'2013

On 12113/13 at about 1240 hours I was dispatched to shots fired at Arapahoe High School, in Arapahoe County, Colorado. While en route it was aired that Arapahoe Sheriffs Oflice was requesting assistance for an active shooter at the School. J arrived at the School at about 1246 hours.

McDowell, Two Englewood Officers, and Arapahoe Sergeant John Sherrel. -We were the first team to enter the West side of the school by entering through

the cafeteria on the south side of the school. -We visual! y cleared the cafeteria and headed towards hallways that lead towards

the classrooms on the west side of the school. -Any door that was locked we visually cleared with a flashlight through the glass

on the door. -I did notice students in the classrooms hiding in the dark comers of the rooms. -Our unit cleared towards the gym through the hallway on the south side. -We made it to the gyms hallway that runs north to south and J noticed what

On 12/13/13 at approx 1240 hrs I responded to an active shooter at Arapahoe High School. Upon

arrival I stacked on the rear of a group entering imo a south door of the building, when we

approached the building I stayed on the outside 'Jf the door securing the door. As the group cleared

rooms several students were sent out the door I was at. I sent the students across Ory Creek to the

south with the other students leaving the building. I was relieved by a lone Tree officer and

redirected to the Shepard of the Hills Lutheran Church to assist with parents and students. I assisted

CASE TYPE: Response to Arapahoe High School Shooting

DET. ASSIGNED: Pollard, Matthew OSN 0566

2013-0011450

On 12/ 13/2013 I was driving on C470 west in the area of Quebec Slreet when l heard

radio traffic on the Douglas County Main channel advising of a shooting at Arapahoe High School. I drove using my emergency lights to the high school with several other police vehicles.

When I arrived I contacted Lt. Cataffo who requested I join a forming immediate response team and enter the building. I entered the south side building with a group of four officers. We entered the building near the cafeteria and cleared a central group of classrooms contacting several staff and approximately 50 students sheltering there. A route secured by officers to a south exit of the building was established and the students and staff from these classrooms were directed to evacuate to the south side of the building.

Al the request of an Arapahoe County Captain I entered a hallway to the north and west

of the cafeteria and started checking hallways and classrooms for students with other officers. We located several class rooms on the "N" Social Studies hallway that had students and staff sheltering in place. At this point there were numerous officers available inside the school and no active threat information. I posted myself in a position where I could control the Social Studies Hallway and the north exterior door of that hallway.

The incident command on Arapahoe's main channel announced that the evacuation point for students in the building would be the north athletic fields. I opened lhe north hallway door for two members of the Arapahoe County tactical learn and they requested I escort the students from the "N" hallway classrooms to the north athletic fields. I lead approximately 60 students and staff

to the track at the north side of the school.


2013-00: 1450

At the track I assisted officers in scarch:ns students who were then grouped by classroom and waited for the creation of the reunification system. I stood guard for about an hour with the evacuated students until they were all released to the busscs.

l walked to the command post and spoke with Lt. McCarty who assigned me to the lnvt.:stigations detail n in Highlands Ranch.

On December 13, 2013 at approximately 12:40 PM I responded to Arapahoe High School at 2201 E Dry Creek Rd to assist Arapahoe County Sheriffs with an active shooter in the school.

En route to the call we were advised of a shooter with a shotgun and students down and a fire inside the building and possible explosive devices.

I arrived on scene with Officer Atkinson. We deployed on the south side of the school with rifles and Go bags and joined with two Douglas County deputies and one Elbert County deputy.

As we approached the school we were told the shooter was in the library and to make our way toward the shooter.

Officer Atkinson and I informed the other officers we were SWAT operators and we would take point on the entry. We entered the school on the south side near the cafeteri.a and began moving north and then west making our way toward the library.

Near the library we were contacted by an Arapahoe County Deputy inside and were told the suspect was down and to · begin a search of the school.

I worked my way to the west side of the school and began searching for suspects, victims or devices. I continued ii'}.· this role for several hours working my way through multiple classrooms and exterior classrooms and parking lots.

I advised Englewood dispatch that I was switching over to ACSO channel 1. We began a rapid response into the school directing students and school staff that we encounter to run out of the building to the south. We were then advised that the suspect was down in the library. At that time, along with Investigator Tumedge we then began to direct a slow methodical search of the school from the commons area to the far west end of the school. When we encountered students and staff we advised them that they were safe, to remain locked in their classrooms and posted an officer or deputy at the doorway. Mer the Initial search I assisted a bomb technician in securirig a route for students and staff to be evacuated. After securing a route we directed students and school staff out of the north end of the building.

I then began a secondary search of the classrooms and off1ees west of the commons through the school gymnasium area, locker rooms and swimming pool with Investigator Turnidge, EOD Deputy Vaala, and other officers and deputies. We located additional students and staff and escorted them out of the school.

After completing a secondary search J responded to the commons area and met with Sergeant Eyman of the Littleton police department I advised him that we had completed an initial and secondary search of all areas west of the commons area. I then stood by in the commons area while secondary teams into the school completed additional searches.

I checked the status of all Englewood officers that had responded and as they were relieved from areas inside of the school I directed them to the commons area. At approximately 1530 I was advised by ACSO Sergeant Mitchel that the Englewood Officers could stand down and we were directed to the command post to check in. I advised a Deputy at the command post of all the Englewood Officers that had responded and that they had been with the initial group of officers to enter and search the school. I was advised to standby with Englewood officers until directed further. At approximately 1700 hours I was advised by Commander Enley with Littleton Police Department that we could clear the scene and report back to our home agency.

the north side. It seemed as though all the doors were locked so we ran to the east entrance of the school and went inside.

Once inside of the school we began to do a searcii of the school for injured parties or additional gunmen. While we were searching we were also informed that a improvised explosive device (!ED] had been located in the library. We began looking for IEOs as well. I did note a strong.smell of gas. The smell reminded me of burnt Kerosene. It's hard to ·say exactly what I did and in what order it occurred because we searched for almost three hours.

The searching was coordinated via small unit leadership. We had multiple agencies inside of the school all working together almost seamlessly. During the time I was searching the school I became attached to tens of different search teams. Radio communication was poor at best. It seemed as though everyone was on different radio channels. Being on different radio channels didn't seem to matter much because inside of the building certain people took charge of teams and coordinated with each other. Also, because the search teams were made up of multiple agencies, I would sometimes hear what was being said on other radio channels by listening to other officer's radios. Most of the communication that we got was word of mouth.

An example of this is that at one point we were going to evacuate a group of students, and I was posted along the egress route that had been cleared by some Explosive Ordinance Disposal specialists. Detective Disner was about 150 feet away from me on the other end of the hall. We yelled I talked to each other and coordinated the egress. Almost exclusively we were getting information verbally from one cop to another.

Initially we conducted a search of one of the "Charlie" hallways (a hallway that contained classrooms). The doors to these class rooms were closed and locked. The lights in the classrooms were turned off. I knocked on the doors and yelled police come to the door for what seemed lil<e a few minutes, but was actually probably closer to 30 to 45 seconds. Eventually a teacher would come to the door and look through the glass verifying that we were the police and then open the door. I walked into multiple class rooms and found the students all huddled together in a corner where they couldn't be seen from the hallway. The children were all crammed into an area where it lool<ed like only half of them should have been able to fit; they were packed together closely.

The children and teachers ln the classrooms showed a range or emotions. Some or the students looked terrified. others were crying, and some had no discernible expressions on their faces at all. All of them were waiting for the police to give them some sort of direction. As I stOOd in these classrooms IOoking at the students I made a very conscious effort speak to them in a calm voice. I asked if anyone in the classroom was injured. I then told them that they were safe. I told them that what I needed them to do was stay where they were and wait until we could evacuate them. I told a few of the teachers that I spoke to that they should get a list of the students that were in the classroom. write their dates of birth on it, and give it to law enforcement after they were evacuated out of the school.

At one point I was posted at a hallway intersection along a main egress route for the students. I stood there as the children were evacuated in an orderly fashion one classroom at a time. The students walked out of the school in a single file line with tt'leir hands up. As they walked by me many of the students told me thank you.

Initially we egressed students to the north side of the school where the footbaD fields were. Eventually we got word

verbally that we needed to egress the rest of the students out the south side of the school where the circle drive was. Apparently there were busses waiting there for them.

Throughout the event we would get periodic reports of 911 calls saying that children were hiding In this room or that room. One of the rooms kids were S\Jpposedly in was the boiler room. None of the 12 cops I was with had any idea where the boiler room was. I recalled when I was searching a room that I had seen a pink map of the school on the wall. This map was a fire egress map where someone had drawn an arrow to the nearest fire exit. I ripped this map off of the wall and found that the boiler room was actually an out building on the north side of the school. A team of us went towards the boiler room. (I noticed later that there was another pink fire map on the floor. I also saw another officer with a fire map in his pocket).

By this time we were beginning to recheck areas that we had checked before. It seemed that none of us had markers for marking the doors. but we ended up just grabbing markers out ot desk drawers and off of chalk boards. The first time we searched a room we marked the door with an "X" with a circle around il On subsequent searches we marked the doors with a number with a circle around it.

I searched classrooms, the gyms, the weight room. closets, bathrooms, the science rooms, the common area (where most of the blood I saw was at), a basement on the west side of the school, and various other locations. l participated in more searching with members of the FBI swat team. It seemed as though entire swat teams were now arriving in full gear to take over the search.

At around 1500 or 1530 hours Englewood cops and Sheridan cops assembled in the cafeteria. Sgt. Martin got a head count of us and made sure that everyone of us was accounted for. We then left that location and went to the command post across University awaiting further instructions. At approximately 1700 hours we were released.

When we arrived in our unmal'Xed Chevy Impalas, we le~ our emergency lights on. This turned out to be a minor issue before we left because all four Englewood detective cars needed to be jumpstarted before we could leave. We accomplished this quickly and left the scene. No further action laken.

During the clearance of the school I was instructed by an ACSO Deputy in plain clothes to mark the cleared rooms with a circle around an X and he gave me a black marker to do so. After obtaining a key from an unknown teacher I was able to start entering classrooms that were locked and occupied. After evacuation of all students from the school and conducting multiple searches, we went to the north side to clear the two detached classrooms. After they were cleared and the occupants were instructed to exit I went to the south side of the school. A short time later I was asked to post on the east side of the building for security. After many sweeps were done inside the building ACSO Impact set up an interior perimeter covering every exit. On this day I was assigned to ACSO Impact and stood post on very southwest door of the school at the entrance to the gym. We held this perimeter until multiple tactical teams did a final search of the building, including K9 and EOD. After the building was given a final clear I reported to the Command Post. I then returned to the Sherriffs Office.

knew was a loose cannon. He was very emotional and quick to anger. Kolk did not know of any friends he had at the school and did not think he had any sibling there. Kolk was unaware of any medication or special needs that Pierson had.

Kolk then recounted the events of this date. Kolk remembered at about lunch time on th is date, she was i n the cafeteria area where she heated her lunch and sat down in her office. She then heard gunshots. Kolk immediately ran toward the where she heard the gunshots, along with Cameron Rust. The sound was coming from the North hall and she ran to that area. Kolk thought she heard a total of about 7 gunshots. She saw students running from the class NlJ and thought that was where the gunman was. She looked down the trophy hallway and she could see a cloud of smoke. She and Rust then approached the library. She looked in the library and saw a male she immediately r ecogni zed as Karl Pierson. P·ierson was holding a dark colored rifle in both hands . Pierson saw her and turned his body and looked at her, keeping his rifle in both hands pointed in an upward angle. She told Rust, "There he is,u and Rust called it out on the radio.

Rust then pulled Kolk back by her shirt and the two ot them moved out of the way and down the hallway . They went down the center of the hal l way yelling for all the classrooms to lock down, and to lock their doors and t urn off their lights . They then went directly to the special needs classroom in t he south hall and helped those children onto the ground. They locked that door and stayed with those children as Kolk called 911 and told operators what happened. Kolk la te r responded to the church where she waited to be interviewed.
