BREAKING: Sol Pais Dead: Massive Colorado Manhunt Over.

She is dead from possible self-inflicted wounds, according to a law enforcement source at a command post in Clear Creek County. The FBI tweeted “THERE IS NO LONGER A THREAT TO THE COMMUNITY.”

The 18-year-old female suspect was on the run after after making threats that led to the closure of school for more than half a million students on Colorado’s Front Range Wednesday.

“I’m deeply grateful for the support of the Denver metro area superintendents and other state leaders. While Jeffco was the epicenter of this threat, it extended across the whole metro area and affected us all,” Jefferson County School Superintendent Jason Glass said.

We’ve been on pins and needles on the Front Range, even 45 minutes south of Columbine here on Monument Hill. Our local school district didn’t close today, but they did announce “security measures” this morning. They correctly declined to mention what those might be.

I won’t celebrate the apparent suicide of a troubled person, but I will take some small relief in that she took her troubles out on herself, rather than on a bunch of high schoolers.
