Authorities in Colorado Springs, Colorado, said the suspect who opened fire at a weekend birthday party, killing six, was angry because he wasn’t invited.

“At the core of this horrendous act is domestic violence,” Chief Vince Niski said, reported the Denver Post. “The suspect … displayed power and control issues. When he wasn’t invited to a family gathering, the suspect responded by opening fire.”
