The murders at a missionary camp in Arvada and the mega-church in Colorado Springs were the work of a single gunman who had ties to the church. Revenge was the motive of Matthew Murray, who had attended the missionary camp in 2002, and who was not allowed to perform missionary work because of his odd behavior. The 24 year-old mass murderer posted a message between the two attacks in which he blamed Christians for "most of the problems in the world." Murray was killed during the second attack by an armed security guard at the New Life Church, who said she prayed before pulling the trigger, likely saving many lives, and showing that Christians also help resolve some of the problems in the world.

In sports, the Atlanta Falcons lost to the New Orleans Saints 34-14 on the day when its former Quarterback, Michael Vick, was sentenced to 23 months for his part in a dog fighting enterprise. The loss dropped the Falcons to a disappointing 3-10. Most analysts agree that, if Vick were to have played this year, the team would be much better, possibly even capable of matching its 7-9 mark from last year.

Finally, researchers at the University of Illinois have found a gene in fruit flies they call "genderblind," or GB, which, when altered, brought on homosexual behavior. The GB gene, apparently, affects how the fruit flies interpret the smell of pheromones, suggesting homosexuality is natural. However, the research team was also able to inspire drug-induced homosexual behavior among the flies, suggesting homosexuality is behavioral. The team drew no conclusions on human homosexuality, but, if it were to relate to fruit flies, it appears some do it for love while others do it for money.
