A heavily armed 20-year-old man was found dead at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park in Colorado.

Authorities believe he was planning to carry out a shooting at the park but killed himself before doing so.

The man had broken into the park while it was closed and was armed with an AR-style rifle, a handgun, and explosives. (Trending: Donald Trump Is A ‘Cockroach’ That Just Won’t Go Away)

He was wearing tactical clothing and body armor.

A message was found in the women’s bathroom, but it is unclear if the man wrote it.

Investigators found explosive devices in his vehicle but none in the rest of the park.

The man had patches and emblems on his clothing that made him appear to be a member of law enforcement.

Sheriff Lou Vallario said a message was found written on the wall of the women’s bathroom where the man was found, which read, “I am not a killer, I just want to get into the caves.” (Trending: Joe Biden Historic Take Down of Guns)

“While this investigation is still ongoing and very active it is important to realize that given the amount of weaponry, ammunition, and explosive devices found, the suspect could have implemented an attack of devastating proportions upon our community and first responders,” Garfield County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Walt Stowe said.

Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park is on a mountain near the Colorado River in western Colorado.

The incident is being investigated as a possible suicide.
