BREAKING: A young Florida woman who traveled to Colorado and bought a shotgun for what authorities feared would be a Columbine-inspired attack just days ahead of the 20th anniversary of the school shooting found dead in an apparent suicide.

April 17, 2019

Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Shrader said 18-year-old Sol Pais was discovered by the FBI with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.During the manhunt, the FBI said Pais was “infatuated” with Columbine and made threats ahead of Saturday’s anniversary of the attack that killed 13 people at Columbine High School in 1999. The FBI described her “extremely dangerous.”

Agents had focused the search around the base of Mount Evans, a popular recreational area about 60 miles southwest of Denver. “This family contributed greatly to this investigation from the very onset. They provided valuable information that led us to Colorado and a lot of things that assisted in preventing maybe more loss of life,” he said.

Chris42633133 Isn't it her choice to kill the defenceless?

There are a lot of ways she could have committed suicide. Traveling to Colorado to buy a shotgun? Did she really plan to just use it to kill herself?

Hard to believe this person is 18.

Yup an 18 year old can just go into a gun store and purchase a shotgun.... but can’t drink alcohol? 😑🤷🏻‍♀️

Sad that our world has come to this but questions, questions, questions with no answers. How do I buy a gun under the age of 21? How do I buy a gun with an out of state license? How do I not get away with carrying out my plans but I get away with the above? ?

She did the world a favor.

was the fbi watching her? were they aware of her movements? did they allow her to buy a gun? we talk about common sense gun control but the fbi cant stop her from buying a gun.... and now shes dead... they wanted to be heroes stopping a school shooter.

'Customers must provide fingerprints...' Got reference for that? CO FFLs and gun owners seem to be unaware of such a purchase requirement.

katiefoody Actually there is a dispute over whether the purchase was legal or not. Federal law states that a sale to an out of state resident must comply with both Colorado law and the purchaser's home state law. Florida law has an age requirement of 21, plus a 3 day waiting period.

Just so we're clear; she had no obvious intent. Her plan from day one might have been to go off in the woods and take her own life. Everyone saying they're glad she did is a moron. You really think she was going to commit a mass shooting with a shotgun..?

Mental health case. Sad all the way around

Bye

Good riddance

This is on your head NRA. Obviously unstable young woman allowed to buy a gun and then threaten a school that suffered a mass shooting years ago.

At least the innocent kids that would have been her potential victims are safe

Good.

Poisoned by the internet. Be careful out there, lots of really bad videos and fake information.

Good thing but sad she was mentally ill but at least she didn’t take anyone else’s lives

Another NRA 'Responsible Gun Owner'™

Build a wall........oh wait.

I bet she accidentally shot herself trying to figure out how to load it.

Man, she's sexy hot

FYI to all mass shooters. This is how you do it!!!

If we dont recognize that this case is precisely why we need federal level gun control, we are truly lost. Walks into a store, not resident of that state, buys a gun on the spot. That is just dangerous.

Well this was just a bizarre story.

I got a smile on my face now! Happy Happy she’s dead!

Enjoy the nothing.

WLRN Please don’t show her picture nonotoriety

Thank God no one else was hurt. But it's sad to see this young lady had to die. It seems that she was screaming for help. Apparently, no one was listening.

Now I HAVE to ask the obvious question. How did a mentally unstable 18 year old girl from another state just waltz into Colorado and buy a pump-action shotgun in the first place? Does ANYONE see something wrong with this insanity?

Her is Dissolvedgirl90

The obsession with this incident is real & worrisome. bunnyrodgers went through blogs where people glorified the shooting/ shooters for her art series. Im happy she was stopped, but sad.

She wasn’t even born when Columbine happened and if she had her way it would’ve happened again—nothings changed.

Good riddance we don’t need that in our world, glad she didn’t harm any innocents

Are we supposed to believe this person is only 18 years old? On what planet?

So in other words, the problem resolved itself.

Once again...

For some reason she looks oddly attractive. Too bad she’s apparently nuts

Proves that mental health is the problem, not guns

Good to know.

Kudos to her family for reporting and all law enforcement agencies who worked together to thwart this threat and prevent another tragedy.

KGWNews Based on the lack of our country’s empathy I’m shocked this does not happen more often and is not more lethal. And solely based on the way we treat each other i’d go as far as the say it’s justifiable.

Probably 'Best Outcome'.....

Best news I’ve heard all day..

Stop showing her photo or saying her name. nonotoriety

Sometimes taking one for the team is the least bad outcome.

Casualty?

Florida, what the fuck.

Sad for her and her family

another very fine person from the sovereign republic of florida.

Florida strikes again.

This woman was troubled and ill but people still think it’s the gun’s fault?

This woman looks 32

Prayers to her family.

From: Florida Bought gun in: another state No waiting time, no b/g checks. Social media already knew she was a loose cannon. THIS SEEMS NORMAL. Anything for a sale. Start your spin NRA Senators: I know the NRA gives you lots of $, but just go ahead & give it back & speak truth.

Florida🙄

This whole story is bananas. First off,18 is quite questionable... AND ‘obsessed’ with a 20 y/o case; cross country travel and firearms purchase in a state with no known affiliation ultimately ending in suicide. The whole thing stinks 😷

18? 😂 AgedLikeMilk

I'm glad she didn't get to do what she wanted to do, but it's still sad we have so many mentally ill people in our country! RIP

Her life was over when the FBI slandered her name & fucked her over without cause. There is no recovery from that vicious slander under color of law. No future, no jobs, no loving husband, no house or home, no adorable little children awaited her after what those cops did.

Obviously some mental health issues going on here and it’s disgusting she was able to buy a gun after making the threats and arriving in CO. We failed this woman.

Tragic. I understand she had a blog talking suicide & killing. A shame no one took the time to help her.

Single shotgun sparked a huge woman hunt. a single shotgun does not pose much of a threat. I wonder what the hole story is

So what exactly were her 'credible threats?' Shouldn't be hard for them to put that out. Until I hear, she's a girl who flew to Colorado and killed herself.

There are too many guns in this country...this is not normal.

Win win for all.

👏

I'm glad no one was hurt, sorry this young woman didn't get the help she desperately needed and FU*KING FURIOUS that you can hop on a plane and go to CO and just buy a gun on a whim.

These comments are cold and heartless. She was a young woman who needed help. This is common and tragic. Shame on all of you!

What is making people Nuts?

methed up of all of you to assume she’s older

training exercise? Dem/FBI push for universal background checks? doesn't seem legit, something is a miss here.... FBI FBIDenver jeffcosheriffco

Depressão provavelmente!

How young is she? 40ish? This is why I hate those fn filters! Catfishing me! 😡😠😬😬😭😀😀✋

all these people saying that we don't have to spend tax money to treat her or that this is a good thing depress me and show how low we've stooped as a nation. there are no winners here.

officer-assisted suicide?

Throwing this out there and expecting a lot of flak - where do we draw the line between mental illness and just being evil? Personally, I don't believe every shooter/killer is mentally ill.

Am I the only one who looks at the photos and thinks, 'No way that person is just 18 years old'?

Thank you, next.

I support gun-purchase waiting periods.

Good

I was just about to say she may have committed suicide

I'm just so sad for America lately. Little in the way of affordable mental health care but guns are a dime a dozen and easy to get. Recipe for repeated disaster time and time again

she looks quite depressed poor woman. statistically suicidal women do not blow their heads off with a shotgun. I wonder if she left a note. my condolences to her family.

With a gun she bought in CO without being a resident AND without any authorization to do so. That doesn't happen.

Poor kid. This world eats people with mental problems alive. She didn’t have a chance.

KGWNews Awesome way to stop a Domestic Terrorist.

18

NEXT

This thing kind of worked it self out, huh?

Lol

Good thing she was able to buy a gun. Right, NRA?

Please stop glorifying violence, fake news.

School district just said the gun was purchased legally. So glad we live in a country where a 17 year old wack job could legally purchase a shot gun in a state she doesn't live in. Those gun laws are working well right?

Oh well

After an autopsy we might find out this person is older she does not look like she's 18 and maybe our lawmakers could make it illegal if she is 18 for an 18 year old to purchase a gun.

Ain’t got no tears left to cry

This is sad and disgusting! This insanity HAS to stop!

Good news that a potential shooting was averted and a savings on prison costs. Win win

Y’all hear something?

Great choice in the decision making tree

OK getting pretty sick of seeing this photo of her and her mom.

Back to hell she goes! Innocent children saved.

the government smoked her lmao found dead my ass

Wish more people did this.

One less nut to worry about!

Now we don;'t have to worry about her doing it again. This beats housing her the rest of her life.
