The women were Australian nationals visiting the United States. As of yet, officers don’t know if the shooting was an accident, a suicide or foul play. Australian family members of the twins are traveling to Colorado to help identify which one is still alive.
The women were Australian nationals visiting the United States. As of yet, officers don’t know if the shooting was an accident, a suicide or foul play. Australian family members of the twins are traveling to Colorado to help identify which one is still alive.On Monday, Colorado’s Cherry Creek State Park shooting range held a gruesome scene for officers who were called after the discovery of 29-year-old Australian twin sisters laying on the shooting range floor. The Australian twins had been shot in head with one dead and one wounded. Because the women were identical twins, officers were unable to properly identify which one was killed or why.
Surveillance footage only showed both women falling at the same time after being shot by different guns which were rented at the range. It did not show the actual shooting. Since the twins were Australian nationals visiting the United States, their parents were notified. The Australian Consulate in Los Angeles has coordinated traveling for the parents to Colorado.
Officers are hoping the twin sisters’ parents will be able to shed some light as to why the women were at the Cherry Creek State Park shooting range and whether or not the shooting was an accident, a suicide or foul play. The surviving Australian twin is currently hospitalized and drugged up. Her condition has improved to serious from critical. Police officers tried to question the woman on Wednesday morning but she was still too medicated.
Unfortunately, there are no answers and it is unknown whether or not the surviving twin will fully recall the events leading up to her and her sister being shot in the head. Hopefully soon though authorities will have the answers they are seeking. This has been a truly tragic event. Imagine the pain their parents are going through right now. They have no idea which one of their twin girls was killed or why. They must travel to a different country to try and figure things out. It’s frightening and it’s sad.
