After keeping his identity secret for more than 24 hours following a shooting spree in multiple locations that claimed five lives on Monday night, law enforcement officials in Denver finally named Lyndon James McLeod as the gunman who ultimately died after a brief shootout with police.
A Twitter account for Colorado Springs Anti-Fascists, which describes itself as a group that is Exposing fascists and disrupting their organizing in so-called Colorado, tweeted to this writer that McLeod was a white nationalist. The group pointed to its own tweet making a similar claim.

(268,969 posts)LAKEWOOD, Colo. (CBS4) Lyndon McCleod, the apparent shooter in a killing spree in Denver and Lakewood Monday, left behind books, videos, podcasts and social media posts that provide insight into the kind of life he lived and may have foretold the tragic crime spree. Police believe McLeod was targeting most of his victims.
What is raising concerns for many is how he seemingly projected his coming shooting spree in a book series he wrote years ago under the pen name of Roman McClay
McCleod published three books via the company entitled Sanction, Sanction II and Sanction III. He wrote about a successful businessman based in Colorado who shared his real name, Lyndon McLeod. In the book, he wrote about that character one day snapping and going on a shooting spree through Denver attacking people who were former business partners and friends who he felt betrayed him.
