Man Who Committed Wyoming Slaying Had Pending Gun Permit: Cops

[SecularMotion]

A Vernon man who killed his father and his father's girlfriend in Wyoming and then killed himself had a pending application for a pistol permit in Connecticut at the time of the murder-suicide, police said on Monday.

On Friday, Vernon police searched the Grove Street rooming house where Christopher Krumm, 25, was living, at the request of police in Casper, Wyoming.

Police said Krumm traveled to central Wyoming and fatally stabbed Heidi Arnold, 42, before he shot his father, James Krumm, 56, in the head with a bow-and-arrow and then killed himself with a large knife.

Arnold was a math instructor at Casper College. Police said he stabbed her in front of the home she shared with his father.

1. Pending application...so he didn't have a permit.

and used a knife and bow to kill two folks...


I guess just filling out the paperwork gave him the balls to start killing people prematurely.


Pending gun permits kill people must be the lesson here.

3. Keeping him from getting a gun saved those people's lives.

Oh wait...(Gasp)...he still killed them? Knives are legal?...Bows and arrows can be bought by anybody? We must start a movement to outlaw them. The anti bow movement could be called BARE for Bow Are Realy Evil. Against knives could be SHEATH for Stop Helping Edged Attackers To Hurt. Maybe we can even catch up to the British.

Just in case it is needed:

4. You do realize he knew the victims.

Got impatient with the getting a gun and did it anyways.

11. The carry permit has nothing to do with actually buying a gun.

So that wasn't any obsticle to him.

5. At least he didn't spray a classroom full of math students with gun fire

6. let me guess

The Gun Control Act prevented him from buying one in Wyoming, since he was a Conn. resident.? Or he didn't know a private seller might not have asked his state of residence? Or he was clueless about Wyoming gun laws?

7. This particular tragedy has me seriously wondering what was going on behind the scenes

in terms of motivations.

13. I wonder if there is a greater correlation to Library Cards?

But I hear that the Association of American Publishers is trying to prevent the CDC from funding the study.
