    I heard someone say that somewhere but I don't see anyone reporting that there has been a murder charge.

    Preemptively.

    I believe an 80+ year old is in critical condition with extensive 3rd degree burns.

    That is not survivable at that age... and the pain meds will do nothing.

    Was wondering the same thing, even if there is a victim that has no chance of surviving, it would seem to me that an authority would need to actually pronounce the person dead in order to present a murder charge. Don?t get me wrong, I wish this pile of trash could have been ?neutralized? before anyone got hurt, but I?m also not keen on slinging charges before they are warranted.

    “I’hmm not dead yet….”
    I'll stop buying black rifles when my wife stops buying black shoes.

    These discussions of the "murder charge" are based on the same media sources that we spend decades complaining about how bad they are.
    But also, to be fair, maybe we don't read the articles better.

    That said, this article here:

    https://kdvr.com/news/local/boulder-...ported-attack/

    Says this about the charges against the Suspect:

    ".......
    Eight counts of first-degree murder after deliberation - criminal attempt
    Eight counts of first-degree murder with extreme indifference - criminal attempt............"

    If that is accurate, the Dude wasn't charged with "Murder".............. but Attempted Murder.

    So yes, NOW, if someone dies, they will amend the charges to reflect an actual murder.
