Enoch Apodaca, 46, a former congregant, was found dead on December
25, 2022, outside the building of Kingdom Hall in Thornton, Colorado.

Reports suggest that Enoch Apodaca is suspected to have bombed the office
of the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local Union 68 building earlier
that day.

Enoch Apodaca on the day of Christmas first killed his 44-year-old
wife Melissa Apodaca and then turned the gun to himself and died.

According to the police, Apodaca also planted three explosives
inside the worship hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses. None of the explosives
planted by Enoch in the Suburban Denver of Colorado detonated.
