A Colorado State University Pueblo student arrested Tuesday for having a large cache of loaded weapons on campus allegedly told other students and CSU Pueblo staff he fantasized about setting off pipe bombs in the university courtyard and gunning down other students as they fled.

In an arrest affidavit obtained by The Pueblo Chieftain on Sept. 23, the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office says that Robert James Killis, 24, made terroristic threats to university staff and students and “appeared to be in a planning stage” for an active shooter event prior to his arrest.

According to the affidavit, Killis’ threats included telling another student he was going to learn to make pipe bombs to “deal with some anti-governmental issues.”

Killis, who was living on campus in CSU Pueblo’s University Village at Walking Stick apartments, also worked on campus in a 20-hour-a-week work-study program. A witness who worked with him in the program told PCSO detectives Killis holds “extreme anti-government and anti-vaccination views” and “does not like anyone with power telling him what to do” according to the affidavit.

1. Odd, back in college my fantasies were about romance or sex.

I guess that makes me a deviant.

2. Bonkers. At least he's held on felony charges with a pretty big bail.

3. That is a product of child hood. The child will out grow it.

Back in Junior High School I fantasized about a school shooting and how I would stop it. The child will out grow such thoughts and become a productive member of society.

5. are you serious?

6. Let him 'outgrow' it in some place where he can't inflict mass casualties

He doesn’t like people telling him what to do? He’s really not gonna like prison.

7. 24 is not a child

And a "loaded cache of weapons" doesn't scream idle daydream to me.

4. Glad he was arrested before he may have went through with it.
