Update 10/21:Florida man killed in Fort Collins shooting was Air Force veteran

Update 10/20:Slain CSU student had 'spirit for adventure'

CSU student Savannah McNealy was wrapping up a night of birthday celebrations when she and two other victims were gunned down outside a Fort Collins condominium complex Thursday.

Just before 2 a.m., McNealy, Tristian Kemp and another woman took a rideshare to the residence at 720 City Park Ave., near the city's Campus West neighborhood.

When they arrived, police say they were ambushed by gunfire from 30-year-old U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Michael A. Zamora, who then turned one of the three firearms he brought to the scene on himself.

McNealy — who had just turned 22 the night of the shooting — and 26-year-old Kemp of Destin, Florida, were killed in the attack, which is the deadliest shooting in Larimer County in more than a decade.

Both suffered multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Larimer County coroner.

"When we were trying to figure out who the shooter was, nobody expected it to be Michael," McNealy's friend Hannah Foster said at a vigil held Friday on the Colorado State University campus.

She said McNealy and Zamora had been in a romantic relationship, and that she had not heard anything about the two breaking up before the shooting.

The other woman who was shot was transported to Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland for treatment of her injuries, and she is expected to survive, police said. Her identity has not been released.

Police found two rifles and a handgun registered to Zamora at the scene.

Zamora was a special missions aviator assigned to the F.E. Warren Air Force Base near Cheyenne, Wyoming, the Air Force confirmed Friday. He had been an active military member for almost nine years, served one deployment and had been at the Wyoming base for just more than a year.

He had not faced any disciplinary actions at the base, Air Force officials told the Coloradoan.
