DENVER (AP) — A judge has raised the bond for a student arrested in the deaths of two people shot in a dorm room at a Colorado college to $5 million. A prosecutor said there were indications 25-year-old Nicholas Jordan tried to flee and that had a gun when he was arrested. The bond for Jordan had been set at $1 million after he was arrested Monday in the deaths of his roommate, 24-year-old, Samuel Knopp, and Celie Rain Montgomery, at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. Judge Shannon Gerhart agreed to raise the amount during Jordan’s first court appearance. Jordan’s sister said the accusations do not sound like something her brother would do.
