COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- A soldier stationed in Washington has come to Colorado Springs to kill his ex-fiancé and her boyfriend, according to a woman's report.

Colorado Springs Police officers are looking for Joshua Daner, a soldier stationed at Fort Lewis, Wash. who officers confirmed arrived in Denver around midnight Monday.

Daner told his supervisors he was coming to Colorado Springs to kill his once soon-to-be wife, her boyfriend and himself after the woman sent him a text message calling off the wedding and ending the relationship.

Daner has three registered guns and took a taxi from Budget Rent A Car to an unknown location. He is an Army Ranger who has been deployed eight times.

Daner, also known as "Little Monster," is 5'5" and weighs 155 pounds with a shaved head. Officers said he may have an injured right hand after punching something when he got the text message. He has a California driver's license.

He faces domestic violence harrassment and AWOL charges, and officers said he is extremely violent.

Officers are asking anyone who may see him to call them at (719) 444-7000.
