Littleton — A young Florida woman who authorities say was so "infatuated" with the Columbine school shooting they feared she was planning an attack in Colorado just days ahead of the 20th anniversary was found dead Wednesday in an apparent suicide after a nearly 24-hour manhunt.
During the urgent search, the FBI said Pais was obsessed with the 1999 mass shooting at Columbine High School and made threats ahead of Saturday's anniversary of the attack that killed 13 people. The FBI described her as "extremely dangerous." Authorities gave no immediate details on where Pais was found, but FBI agents had focused the search around the base of Mount Evans, a popular recreation area about 60 miles southwest of Denver.
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said after receiving word that the hunt was over that he and all Colorado parents are "hugging their children a little tighter." "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.
Jefferson County school officials said events planned to mark the anniversary this weekend will go on as scheduled, including a ceremony at Columbine on Saturday.

OPINIONISTA: View from afar: To attract young voters, parties should address racial justiceThis is the most important election in South Africa since the end of apartheid. We stand at a critical juncture and the course that we take in the next five years will determine whether our country consolidates its constitutional democracy or slips into stagnation and decline. But it is not load shedding, or even State Capture, that we should be most concerned about. What should keep us awake instead is rising anger at racial injustice after more than two decades of freedom. A well theorised piece of writing but the practical opportunity for social justice and racial redress has already been missed. The ANC have had 25 years of misrule and a strong economy to apply the redress all South Africans sought in 1994. Our economy today cannot afford this. Your “New Deal” with its wealth tax took place in the late 90s. What is needed is to stop living in the past and start living in the present and future. To stop want revenge against the sons for the sins of some fathers. For politicians to use non-racist, unifying language.
