Prosecutors plan to file charges Monday against a man suspected of killing one person and wounding three others in a shooting at a bar in Vail.
Police said Richard "Rossi" Moreau, 63, killed Carbondale doctor Gary Bruce Kitching in the Nov. 7 shooting.
Prosecutors have been considering filing first-degree murder charges against Moreau but district attorney Mark Hurlbert said Thursday that the charges haven't been finalized.
Moreau told the Vail Daily in 2007 that he was taking medication for post-traumatic stress disorder he suffered after serving in Vietnam in the late '60s. He said he is a New Hampshire native who moved to Vail in 1970 and skis more than 150 days a year.
Search warrant affidavits in the case have been sealed.
