<p>The deaths of three college students near the University of Wyoming campus early Sunday were the result of a double murder-suicide, the Laramie Police Department announced Wednesday.</p><p>The police department announced that it believes Justin Geiger, 20, of South Beloit, Ill., killed Amber N. Carlson, 19, of Denver, with a high-powered rifle. They say Geiger also killed Adam Towler, 20, of Laramie, with a knife before killing himself with the rifle.</p><p>Geiger also stabbed another man, Anthony Klochak, 19, of Chardon, Ohio. Klochak survived and fled the residence and has been cooperating with the police investigation.</p><p>Geiger, Carlson and Klochak were all UW students; Towler had attended Emory University and planned to transfer to Georgetown University in the fall.</p><p>Commander Dale A. Stalder of the Laramie Police Department said Wednesday morning the investigation into the case will continue. He said investigators didn't know the exact motive and weren't clear about how long the attacks took place. He said police were called to the Laramie house, where Klochak and Geiger were roommates, at about 2:10 a.m.</p><p>"Absolutely the investigation is continuing," Stalder said. "We felt that it was important due to the nature of this incident, and its impact on the community, to at least try to come to some preliminary conclusions, and try to let people know as much as we can tell about this incident."</p><p>Geiger and Carlson both died of single gunshot wounds to the head, Stalder said. Towler died of multiple stab wounds to the chest. Stalder said the knife used was one that had been in the residence.</p><p>Klochak sustained knife wounds as well as minor wounds when he fled the residence.</p><p>Stalder said Klochak had been cooperative with police investigators, meeting with them face-to-face as recently as Tuesday.</p><p>"There was alcohol involved in this incident, to what extent it was a factor in the incident, we don't know," Stalder said. "At this point, we don't believe there was other drug usage."</p><p>Stalder said autopsies of the deceased have been completed, but said he wasn't prepared to release information about whether any of the three was intoxicated when they died.</p><p>"We have a dedicated detective staff of four people who are all working on this investigation, as well as other administrative personnel, and patrol personnel," Stalder said.</p>
