A Utah Army National Guardsman killed a Utah State University student and one other person early Monday at an apartment near the college before fleeing and fatally shooting himself at another home, police said.

Jared Tolman, 23, sent a series of unanswered text messages to Mackenzie Madden before he kicked down the door of her apartment two blocks from the university shortly after midnight.

He then fired an assault rifle multiple times at Madden and a 25-year-old man, both people he knew, police said.

Madden, 19, was a sociology major at the university in Logan, a city of about 48,000 people 80 miles north of Salt Lake City. Officers responding to 911 calls found her and Johnathon Jacob Sadler dead inside the unit.

The gunman then went to another apartment a few miles away to look for a man he believed was involved with Madden, Lt. Rod Peterson said. However, the man was not home because he was staying with family.

At that point, “Tolman turned the gun on himself,” Peterson said.
