IncidentOn Friday 30 November 2012, Christopher Krumm, the 25 year-old son of Casper College faculty member James Krumm, went to the residence of his father and Heidi Arnold, who also taught at the college. Christopher stabbed Heidi several times, most of which took place outside. He then went to the college to find James. Police received the first phone call just after 9 a.m., and received a second call just minutes later. Heidi was stabbed multiple times. Authorities found signs of defensive wounds on her body. She was found barefoot and still dressed in pajamas in the street outside their home. Christopher arrived at the college with two knives and a compound bow hidden under a blanket. He walked into his father's classroom and shot him in the head with the bow at point blank range. Jim rose up and attacked his son, allowing his students to escape. Not everything is known about their final struggle, but three fellow faculty members tried to intervene. Christopher eventually stabbed himself, leading to his death. Paramedics arrived to find Jim already dead; although Christopher still showed signs of life they were unable to save him. Evidence indicated that Christopher was distressed because he had Asperger's Syndrome, which he blamed his father for giving him, and that he wanted to ensure his father would not give the disorder to anyone else.[1] Notable alumni
