    Gunman kills officer, two others at Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado

    A suspect is in police custody following an hours-long shooting standoff at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, where at least one police officer and two civilians were killed Friday.

    “The perpetrator is in custody,” Mayor John Suthers declared just after 5 p.m. Mountain time — more than five hours after an active shooter was first reported at the health-care clinic, spawning confusion that lasted through the afternoon over whether the gunman was at large or holed up at the medical facility with staff and patients.


    The suspect was identified by the Colorado Springs Police Department as Robert L. Dear. Police were trying to determine his motive after his capture at the clinic. They said the suspect was armed with a long gun and also brought into the building several “items” that could have been explosive devices.

    Besides the three deaths, at least four other police officers and five civilians were injured. *Authorities said those individuals were all in good condition.

    The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs said the officer killed was Garrett Swasey, 44, who had been with the campus police department for six years and responded to the initial reports of an active shooter.


    President Obama was briefed on the situation, a White House official said. Local police were joined at the scene by state investigators and federal agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the FBI.

    Health centers associated with Planned Parenthood have been the target of threats and violence because of the organization’s role in providing abortions and lobbying for reproductive rights. Abortion rights groups say threats against abortion providers rose sharply this summer in the wake of an undercover “sting” mounted by an antiabortion group that filmed one of its videos at a clinic in Denver.

    At least four Planned Parenthood clinics have been targeted with arson since the videos were released. The increase in threats has led abortion rights groups to increase cooperation with local police and the FBI.

    “Our hearts go out to the families and loved ones of the brave law enforcement officers who put themselves in harm’s way in Colorado Springs,” Cecile Richards, president and CEO of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said in a statement. “We are profoundly grateful for their heroism in helping to protect all women, men and young people as they access basic health care in this country.”

    In a Twitter message late Friday, a clinic spokesperson said, “We are grateful to report that all our staff our safe and accounted for and are hoping for the best possible outcomes for the others wounded in the attack.”

    Earlier, Vicki Cowart, president of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, said in an interview on CNN that “we don’t yet know the full circumstances and motives behind this criminal action, and we don’t yet know if Planned Parenthood was in fact the target of this attack.”

    In New York, Detective Brian Sessa said the police department had deployed response vehicles to Planned Parenthood locations throughout the city out of “an abundance of caution.” He added that there were no specific threats.


    The incident in Colorado began on a traditionally quiet day of post-Thanksgiving relaxation about 11:30 a.m. Mountain time when police responded to a call for help from the Planned Parenthood clinic. The clinic sits in a bustling area near a shopping center, a medical building, a grocery store and restaurants.


    A burst of gunfire early on gave way to relative calm in the afternoon, but witnesses said gunfire started again in the evening.

    Police warned media not to set up too close to the scene because it was not secure. Many workers and shoppers in the area were told to hunker down in place, whether it be in the kitchen of their restaurant or the back seat of their car. Some remained there for hours as snow accumulated and the sky darkened.


    As of 4 p.m., police had not identified or made voice contact with the shooter. Buckley said officers then managed to get into the building and shout at the suspect to give himself up, after which he emerged from the building with his hands raised.

    Before that, police had evacuated a number of people from the building, and they were taken to a hospital for evaluation. Footage from television stations showed people in medical jackets and scrubs being ushered through the snow into waiting vehicles.

    Sydney Downey, 20, who works at Sally Beauty Supply nearby, said people inside the store heard gunshots about 11:45 a.m.


    “A lot of gunshots,” Downey said, “like, too many to even count.”

    She said police and firefighters swarmed Centennial Boulevard, where the clinic is located, and crowded around a nearby bank.

    An officer came by the beauty supply store to make sure that the doors were locked and that those inside were safe, she said.

    “He said, ‘Get back away from the windows,’ and left, and that was it,” Downey said.


    After that, Downey said, she remained huddled in a back room with the store manager and a customer.

    Brigitte Wolfe, who works at a Japanese restaurant across the street from the clinic, said she first learned something was amiss when police SWAT and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives vehicles pulled up out front.

    She heard no gunshots. “We just thought it was some random whatever happening, and then we turned on the news and started seeing what was going on,’’ she said.


    Suddenly, about 3 p.m., police and ATF agents banged on the restaurant’s door “and told us to hide where there was no windows because the shooter was active,’’ Wolfe said.

    She and several employees and customers hid in the restaurant’s kitchen.

    Wolfe said the police and agents commandeered the restaurant’s dining room.

    Gunshots were audible as police used an armored vehicle to evacuate people from the Planned Parenthood clinic.

    Wolfe said that the medical facility had been the scene of protests most weekends but that there had never been any violence until Friday.

    “I want the truth to come out. There’s a lot more to this than for me to go silently to the grave,”

    “I want the truth to come out. There’s a lot more to this than for me to go silently to the grave.”

    COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The man accused of killing three people at a Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic stunned a courtroom Wednesday when he declared himself a “warrior for the babies” and said he was guilty and won’t go to trial.

    Robert Lewis Dear, 57, made the outburst before he was formally charged with 179 counts of first-degree murder, attempted murder and other crimes.

    Bearded, unkempt and cuffed at the wrists and ankles, Dear repeatedly disrupted the hourlong hearing, interrupting his public defender, Daniel King, and objecting to King’s attempts to limit publicity in the case.

    King — who represented Colorado theater shooter James Holmes — has asked the judge to impose a gag order on participants in the Planned Parenthood case before a trial.

    “You’ll never know what I saw in that clinic. Atrocities. The babies. That’s what they want to seal,” Dear shouted at one point, prompting a deputy to squeeze his shoulder in an effort to quiet him.

    “Seal the truth, huh? Kill the babies. That’s what Planned Parenthood does,” Dear yelled later.

    King did not address the outbursts but raised doubts about whether Dear is competent to stand trial, saying defense attorneys wanted investigators to turn over evidence as soon as possible so they could assess the “depth of his mental illness.”

    “Do you know who this lawyer is?” Dear then exclaimed of King. “He’s the lawyer for the Batman shooter. Who drugged him all up. And that’s what they want to do to me.”

    Holmes was on anti-psychotic medication during his trial this year in the 2012 shootings that killed 12 people and wounded 70. He was sentenced to life in prison.

    Colorado Springs police have refused to discuss a potential motive in the Nov. 27 attack, which wounded nine. But even before Wednesday’s startling outbursts, there was mounting evidence that Dear was deeply concerned about abortion.

    He rambled to authorities about “no more baby parts” after his arrest. And a law enforcement official told The Associated Press this week that Dear asked at least one person in a nearby shopping center for directions to the clinic before opening fire. The official was not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation and spoke this week to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

    On Wednesday, Dear interjected as Judge Gilbert A. Martinez discussed a pretrial publicity order, saying, “Could you add the babies that were supposed to be aborted that day? Could you add that to the list?”

    At one point, Dear yelled simply, “Protect babies!”

    Later, he accused his attorneys of being in “cahoots” with Planned Parenthood to “shut me up.”

    “I want the truth to come out. There’s a lot more to this than for me to go silently to the grave,” he shouted.

    Dear has lived in remote locations without electricity or water and was known to hold survivalist ideas.

    One of his three ex-wives, Barbara Mescher Micheau of Moncks Corner, South Carolina, said he vandalized a South Carolina abortion clinic at least 20 years earlier, announcing to her that he had put glue in the locks of its doors, a common protest technique among activists trying to shut down abortion clinics.

    Killed in the attack were Garrett Swasey, 44, a University of Colorado-Colorado Springs officer who rushed to the scene; Ke’Arre Stewart, 29, an Iraq war veteran who was accompanying someone at the clinic; and Jennifer Markovsky, 35, who also accompanied a friend at the clinic.

    Five other officers were shot and wounded in the rampage.

    Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers said Monday that responding officers rescued 24 people from inside the clinic building and helped remove 300 people from surrounding businesses where they had been hiding while the shooting unfolded.

    Martinez set the next hearing for Dear for Dec. 23. A first-degree murder conviction can lead to life in prison or the death penalty.

    At the end of Wednesday’s hearing, the judge looked at Dear and said, “Are you finished?”

      Planned Parenthood shooting suspect ruled incompetent

      Planned Parenthood shooting suspect ruled incompetent

      By Emanuella Grinberg, CNN
      Updated 9:39 PM ET, Wed May 11, 2016

      (CNN)He believes the FBI cuts holes in his clothes and leaves feathers in his home. That Robin Williams told a joke about President Obama, the "antichrist," and committed suicide two weeks later. That President Obama will declare martial law and rebuild himself as the antichrist.

      Those are just some of the "delusional beliefs" accused Colorado Planned Parenthood shooter Robert Lewis Dear shared with a detective who interviewed him after his November arrest.

      Based on those statements and others Dear made to psychologists, a Colorado judge ruled on Wednesday that Dear was mentally incapable of participating in the case against him.

      After two days of hearings in April and May, 4th Judicial District Judge Gilbert Martinez deemed Dear incompetent to stand trial for the time being. The ruling puts the criminal case on hold while Dear undergoes treatment at the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo to restore him to competency, Martinez said.

      Seeking to dispel perceptions that the ruling might indefinitely stall proceedings, Martinez told reporters after Wednesday's hearing that "competency is a determination of the defendant's current mental status." Every 90 days hospital staff will send a report to the court on his status and whether they believe he is competent to stand trial. The first one is due August 11.

      "Nobody has said that he is permanently incompetent," Martinez said. It's not unusual that people are restored to competency. "There are cases where people have been found permanently incompetent. Those are rare situations."

      Dear, 57, is charged with 179 felony counts including murder and attempted murder in the November 27, 2015, shootings at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs.

      'You shouldn't have come here today'

      Dear entered the clinic before noon on the day of the shooting, police said. He was wearing a homemade ballistic vest made of duct tape and silver coins and carrying four SKS rifles, according to police documents.

      He approached his first victim outside the clinic parking lot with a message.

      "You shouldn't have come here today," he said. Police said he then shot her multiple times.

      From inside the clinic he held authorities at bay for nearly six hours, killing one police officer and two civilians before he was arrested, police said.

      Dear told a detective that he dreamed of being met in heaven by aborted fetuses who would thank him for his actions, according to documents released by investigators. He called President Barack Obama "the antichrist" and told investigators he "thought highly" of a man accused of killing an abortion provider and his bodyguard in Florida.

      Coherent but delusional

      Martinez ordered Dear to undergo a mental competency evaluation in December after his public defender raised questions about his competency.

      Dear has repeatedly interrupted proceedings with outbursts, shouting at his attorneys and the judge, muttering to himself and declaring his guilt. Dear told the court in a December 9 hearing, "I am a warrior for the babies." In a subsequent hearing Dear tried to fire his court-appointed lawyer, who also defended Aurora movie theater shooter James Holmes. Dear indicated he would not cooperate with the mental evaluation, telling Martinez, "I'm not going to say one word to them."

      Martinez noted in his ruling that Dear's behavior was but one factor in his conclusion, in addition to evidence and testimony from two psychologists and the detective.

      The psychologists told the court that Dear has long suffered from a "delusional disorder" that impairs his ability to have a "rational understanding" of the proceedings. Although he appears to understand the judicial process his "delusional beliefs are informing his decisions and his decisions are not based on logic," the judge said in his ruling, paraphrasing the testimony of Dr. Jackie Grimmett.

      His delusional thinking also impairs his ability to work with counsel, the judge concluded.

      "Although he exhibited sufficient factual knowledge of the legal system and relevant personnel, his persecutory belief system is significantly impairing his ability to consult his lawyer," the judge said, quoting Grimmet's competency evaluation.

      Prosecutors disputed that his behavior rose to the level of incompetency. Under cross-examination from prosecutors, Grimmet said Dear had an intact memory, appeared coherent and goal-oriented and familiar with facts of the case.

      Martinez said he sided with Grimmet's view that one can conduct daily aspects of life and still suffer from a delusional disorder.

      As he was escorted out of the courtroom on Wednesday, according to CNN affiliate KKTV, Dear yelled at Martinez, calling him a "filthy animal."
