Manhunt for Armed Woman 'Infatuated with Columbine' Closes Dozens of Schools Many schools closed in the Denver area on Wednesday as law enforcement conducted a “massive manhunt” to locate a young Florida woman “infatuated” with the 1999 Columbine High School Shooting. The woman, 18-year-old Sol Pais of Florida, was tracked down to Echo Lake Lodge near the base of Mount Evans, a wilderness area about 60 miles west of Denver. She is reportedly dead, according to CBS News. The circumstances of her death are not clear, but CBS Denver affiliate KCNC-TV reported self-inflicted wounds could be a factor. The high school student traveled from Miami, Florida, to Colorado, where she purchased a pump action shotgun and ammunition. Authorities described her as “armed and extremely dangerous.” Saturday will mark the 20th anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting that left 13 dead, including 12 students and a teacher. The school districts for both Jefferson County, where Columbine is located, and others throughout the Denver-metro area heeded the threat and closed their facilities. The FBI’s Denver office confirmed on Wednesday morning, they were investigating around the base of Mount Evans about 60 miles west of downtown Denver. The office later tweeted, “UPDATE: THERE IS NO LONGER A THREAT TO THE COMMUNITY. More information to follow shortly. #FindSol.”
