Police say the suspect in Monday’s shootings killed five people, including one who succumbed to her injuries Tuesday. The gunman also died after exchanging gunfire with officers in a shopping area in the Denver suburb of Lakewood Monday night. Police identified him Tuesday as 47-year-old Lyndon James McCleod. Denver police said during a news conference that McCleod was on the radar of law enforcement and that he knew some of his victims.
