On Friday November 30, 2012, Christopher Krumm, the 25year-old son of Casper College faculty member James Krumm, went to the residence of his father and Heidi Arnold, who also taught at the college. Christopher stabbed Heidi several times, most of which took place outside. He then went to the college to find James.
Christopher arrived at the college with two knives and a compound bow hidden under a blanket. He walked into his father's classroom and shot him in the head with the bow at point blank range. Jim rose up and attacked his son, allowing his students to escape. Christopher eventually stabbed himself, leading to his death.
Evidence indicated that Christopher was distressed because he had Asperger's Syndrome, which he blamed his father for giving him, and that he wanted to ensure his father would not give the disorder to anyone else.[2]
