Gunmen In Cheyenne Shoots 3, Kills 1

Cheyenne Police Department Facebook Page

A Cheyenne man shot three people Wednesday morning at a senior living home, leaving one person dead. Police identified the gunmen as 77-year-old, Larry Rosenberg, who killed himself.

Rosenberg was a resident of the senior living home, Heritage Court Apartments, where the shooting took place a little after 11 a.m. Two of the victims were shot outside the facility, while the third was shot somewhere inside of the building.

A witness that chose not to be identified told KFBC Radio in Cheyenne what he saw after he heard shots.

“The guy is shooting at the two people that are sitting there, almost point blank,” said the witness. “Another gal came and walked around the corner, a young gal, he opened the door for her, let her in, didn’t shoot her but then he shot somebody else inside. Then he got on a bike and took off. It was pretty apparent that he had a beef with those two people.”

Police said they found Rosenberg at the corner of Hot Springs Avenue and Chestnut Drive, where he shot himself as police approached.
