COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- The family of Michael Arangio is expressing their sorrow for the loss of the three teens killed in a shooting Wednesday night.

An email was sent to FOX21 by a person speaking on behalf of the family. It said:

"It is impossible to put into words how badly they hurt for their family and friends. No parent should ever have to suffer the loss of the child. The nightmare of this tragic event will live with all of us for the rest of our lives."
 
Arangio, a 24-year-old Colorado Springs resident, was the suspect of the Mira Loma Circle shooting that left 19-year-old Wayne Fix, his brother, 16-year-old Aaron Fix, and 16-year-old Austin Howse dead.
 
After a three-day search for the suspect, Colorado Springs Police officers surrounded Arangio's apartment at the Resort at University Park on Saturday. The several-hour standoff came to an end when police said they discovered Arangio had shot himself to death.
 
Police are still investigating what led Arangio to kill Howse and the Fix brothers.
