In a recent development in the case of Nicholas Jordan, the man accused of a double homicide at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, a second competency evaluation is set to take place. Judge David Shakes is expected to hear the evaluation conducted by a doctor from the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office prosecutorial team.
**Background of the Case**
The tragic incident occurred in February when Jordan allegedly shot and killed two individuals, Samuel Knopp and Celie Montgomery, inside their shared dorm room. Following the arrest of Jordan by Colorado Springs Police, it was revealed that he was found in possession of a handgun and a loaded AK-47 just three miles west of the UCCS campus.

In April, a psychologist from the State Mental Health Hospital conducted an evaluation on Jordan and found him incompetent to stand trial. This led to the prosecution requesting a second evaluation, which Judge David Shakes approved. The outcome of this evaluation will determine whether the case can move forward.
**Implications of Competency Findings**
If Jordan is deemed mentally competent to stand trial, the legal proceedings will continue. However, if he is found not competent, it remains uncertain how the district attorney’s office will proceed with the case. To restore competency, Jordan may need to undergo mental health treatment and medication at the State Mental Health Hospital in Pueblo.
**Details of the Incident**
Samuel Knopp, identified as Jordan’s roommate, and Celie Montgomery were discovered dead with gunshot wounds in their dorm room by UCCS Campus Police. Reports indicated that Jordan had a previous altercation with Knopp, during which he allegedly threatened to kill him over a trivial matter such as taking out the trash.
**Community Impact**
The incident sent shockwaves through the UCCS community and prompted discussions about campus safety and weapons policies. Students and city leaders reacted to the tragedy, with calls for communication improvements and healing walks organized to support those affected by the shooting.
