THORNTON, Colo. (Reuters) - Police in Colorado on Thursday captured a man who they had said calmly walked into a suburban Denver Walmart and fatally shot three people before driving away.

The Thornton Police Department said on Twitter that Scott Ostrem, 47, had been taken into custody. It did not immediately give details.

Authorities had earlier released a surveillance camera photograph of a middle-aged white man wearing a black jacket and blue jeans. They also published a photo of the red four-door hatchback he is believed to have fled in.

Ostrem "nonchalantly" entered the store in Thornton, about 10 miles (16 km) northeast of downtown Denver, and opened fire on shoppers and employees a little after 6 p.m. time, police said, citing witness accounts.

Two men were killed in the shooting and a woman who was shot was taken to a hospital where she died, according to police.

Hope he is found soon!

They caught him.

Glad of that! Hadn't kept up with it last I heard he was on the loose.

Yes, I posted this yesterday in the coffee shop.. between what happened in NY and this, we all as Americans, must stand vigilant of our surroundings. I do not judge anyone based on color, I judge all on actions and words.

You never know what evil you come to face with everyday.

And you never know it, but you get to walk because then was "not the time".

I worked processing payday loans and I was pregnant. This couple always came in so sweet and giving me gifts. The husband always gave me bad vibes and wanting to touch my belly and one day I see them in the news for sexally assaulting a pregnant woman together.

one just never knows .... I am glad you were not a victim.

It does seem that we are going through a time of a surge of this kind of problem behavior. With all the concerns and political games being played about terrorism, it can be confusing as to what is and isn't really happening.

To my thinking, some things that have been officially labeled as terrorist acts, really aren't, and some things that have been labeled as non-terrorist acts really are. Basically, some people go nuts, and latch on the idea that they can somehow fix themselves by attacking other people; if they chance to be inspired to follow through by one particular political group, they end up being said to represent that group, even though they would have done what they did anyway. And many times, after the fact, political propagandists for a given group will claim responsibility for the horrible act, even though they had no part in planning or executing it. Heck, some times, people plan and commit individual murders for personal gain, and disguise them as political acts, to avoid being caught.

We still have no idea what the Las Vegas guy thought he was accomplishing by his attack. At least this guy was caught alive, so we might be able to find out what he thought HE was doing and why.
