On November 23, 2016, 45-year-old Karyn Lorbiecki was shot in the head and killed inside her home in the Security-Widefield area outside Colorado Springs. The fatal incident began with a violent altercation between Karyn and her husband, Gregory Lorbiecki, during which the couple’s two children witnessed their father assaulting their mother. The children escaped and alerted authorities.

The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office then surrounded the home and negotiated for about four hours while Gregory held Karyn hostage. He was arrested at the scene and charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping. Karyn was a medical assistant and is survived by her parents, two older brothers, and her two children.
