Laramie, Wyo. – Police investigating the “very violent” deaths of two men and a woman over the weekend say they occurred during a small party at a home near the University of Wyoming campus.
Laramie Police Commander Dale Stalder said the three victims and a fourth person who was injured all knew each other and that alcohol was involved.
“There were several different kinds of weapons used,” he said.
“This was a very violent criminal act.” Specifics about the incident were not being released today because investigators were still trying to piece together what happened, Stalder said.
Autopsies on the three were being performed today, he said.
Stalder said all those involved in the incident were accounted for and police were considering the possibility it might have been a murder-suicide.
Found dead in the house were Justin R. Geiger, 20, of South Beloit, Ill.; Amber N. Carlson, 19, of Denver; and Adam Towler, 20, of Laramie.
Anthony N. Klochak, 19, of Chardon, Ohio, received minor wounds and was cooperating with police, Stalder said.
Klochak and Geiger shared the house with three others, who were elsewhere at the time, he said.
Geiger, Carlson and Klochak were registered UW students during the last spring semester, he said.
Towler, who is from Laramie, was a student at Emory University in Atlanta and was home visiting, Stalder said.
Neighbors reported at about 2 a.m. Sunday that Klochak yelled for someone to call police to the home a couple of blocks south of the UW campus.
