Incidents

On Friday, November 30, 2012, at some point before 9 a.m. (11 a.m. ET), an attack occurred on campus. The alleged suspect used a compound bow and arrows &/or a large knife as weapons to kill his victims and himself. Three people, Jim Krumm, Heidi Arnold and Jim's son Chris Krumm died. Jim Krumm was the sole computer science instructor at CC and Heidi Arnold was a math instructor at CC as well. Jim and Heidi were dating at the time. Police and college officials initially stated that the suspect was not in custody but also that no suspect was at large, bolstering reports that he was deceased. Later, the authorities said Chris Krumm had committed murder-suicide, killing Heidi Arnold off campus before going to the classroom in the Wold Physical Science Center and killing his father, Jim Krumm and then himself. All three involved knew each other. Jim Krumm purportedly displayed 'heroic' behavior before he was killed, by distracting & struggling with his son, while several students in the room were able to escape. They have no established motive yet; the investigation is in its initial stages. The campus is no longer on lockdown and people can freely travel, though the physical science building where the attack occurred is still closed; classes and activities were cancelled for at least the remainder of the day, and counselors were made available.
