One 18-year-old male was killed and eight students were hurt in a shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch and police say “two shooters” were caught by officers running into the building. Both suspects are students at the school.

The school is located approximately 8 miles from Columbine High School in neighboring Jefferson County.

Denver7 reported that investigators believe at least one of the suspects stole the guns from the parents of the 18-year-old suspect,

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock confirmed that at least two handguns were used in the shooting.

High-ranking sources told Denver7 Tuesday night that three handguns and a rifle were recovered but said the rifle was not used in the shooting



HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. – One student is dead and eight others injured after two of their classmates opened fire at a suburban Denver STEM school on Tuesday.

Superintendent Thomas S. Tucker said in a letter to parents that STEM School Highlands Ranch, a public charter school with more than 1,850 students in kindergarten through 12th grade, will be closed for the remainder of the week.

"This is a terrible event," Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said. "This is something that nobody wants to happen in their community."

Kendrick Castillo, 18, was identified Wednesday as the lone fatality, the sheriff said.

One suspect is a "female juvenile," police said after originally identifying the teen as male. The other was identified by police as Devon Erickson, 18.

Looking at his FB archive, kid is the type that retweets Occupy Democrats (and given the fact that he lives in CO, this should be of no surprise).

It'll be fun to see the MSM spin him to be an alt-right neo-Nazi. I mean, if they even bother. Probably not enough dead kids for these vultures to linger on this event for more than 48 hours.
 
Why the hell does Colorado have so many mass shootings anyway?

Does it really, though? Aside from the inescapable media event massacre shootings like Columbine and Aurora, I'm assuming no.

This is the only reported one for CO this year per Wiki. Of course there are a handful on the 2018 list, but there are plenty of other states listed with multiple "mass shootings" as well:
750454


And like someone else said, it doesn't help that the news includes a mention of Columbine every time a misfit kid farts in the general direction of a classmate.
 
It doesn't really matter what the reality is. The media would just say that the kid is a nazi and that his repeated denials are just more proof, because only a nazi would deny being a nazi. The narrative is all powerful and all important!
 

DENVER – One student was killed and seven others injured when two classmates began shooting inside a suburban Denver STEM school on Tuesday, authorities said.

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said the shooting suspects, one adult male and one juvenile male, are in custody. The scene is secure, he said.

All of the shooting victims are students ages 15 and older. The male student who died was 18 years old, the sheriff tweeted at 6:45 p.m. MDT.

One of the injured is in serious condition, two are in stable condition and one is in good condition, area hospitals said. Three of the injured have been discharged, Littleton Adventist Hospital spokeswoman Wendy Forbes told USA TODAY.

"This is a terrible event," Spurlock said at an evening press conference. "This is something that nobody wants to happen in their community. We're going to investigate that and we will get to the bottom of it to figure out how and what has occurred."

The suspects began shooting in two separate classrooms at STEM School Highlands Ranch, a public charter school with more than 1,850 students in kindergarten through 12th grade.

Police responded to the shooting before 2 p.m., arriving quickly because there is a law enforcement substation nearby. Deputies engaged the suspects and took them into custody without injuring them, Spurlock said.

Robert Helfer, 13, was in math class when he heard a disturbance.

“Everyone thought it was a theater play at first. Then when we just started hearing banging and gunshots and cursing,” the seventh-grader said, his eyes red, his shaking hands twisting a plastic water bottle. “There was a body by the door when the police officer came to get us.”


The sheriff’s office directed parents to a recreational center to reunite with their children.

Andrea Pedatto, 46, was installing a ceiling fan at her nearby home when she got the news her son’s school was under attack. Her husband burst into tears in frustration while she swung into action, grabbed their Yorkie, Stella, and headed to the center.

“I wasn’t panicking because they hadn’t given any details yet. It’s hard when you don’t know,” she said. “This is Colorado. We have school shootings.”

Pedatto counted herself lucky: she was able to collect her first-grader, Dax, 7, about three hours after the shooting. Other parents waited in the hot recreation center for the buses to deliver their kids, pacing the indoor walking track or sitting on the basketball court near a whiteboard reading “Kids currently ready for reunification” and 11 names.

Many parents still in work uniforms held tight to their sobbing children, offering the reassurance of home-cooked dinners and the chance to get back belongings left behind in the evacuation.

"The heart of all Colorado is with the victims and their families,” Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement.

Tactical teams searched the area Tuesday afternoon as the STEM school was on lockdown and all other Douglas County schools were on lockout, the school district said. Lines of firetrucks, ambulances and law enforcement vehicles rushed to the scene along with medical helicopters.

No police officer is assigned to the school, Spurlock said, adding the school has private security. Authorities are waiting for a search warrant to inspect a suspect's car at the school and their homes. Deputies recovered at least one handgun from the suspects, Spurlock confirmed.

President Donald Trump is monitoring the situation, according to a statement from the White House.

“Our prayers are with the victims, family members, and all those affected by today’s shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch in Littleton, Colorado," the statement said. "Tragically, this community and those surrounding it know all too well these hateful and horrible acts of violence."

Residents in the area described frightened parents arriving amid confusion and worry.

“I heard a lot of loud bangs but then my boss’s dogs started barking. Next thing you know you hear all the cops coming in and all these kids running out,” said nanny Vanessa Valenzuela, 24, who was working across the street. “I kind of got scared when all these parents were just running into the school and you could tell they were all really upset.”

Democratic Rep. Jason Crow, whose district includes Denver's eastern suburbs, immediately called for legislative action.

"It is not enough to send thoughts and prayers, it is empty, it is weak, and it does an injustice to our children who are on the frontlines of this violence," Crow said in a statement. “We must pass common-sense gun violence laws and ensure we are preparing our educators and law enforcement with the tools and resources necessary to create a safe and welcoming environment."

Douglas County School District, which includes the STEM school, cancelled classes last month during an FBI manhunt for a woman "infatuated" with the Columbine shooting. The school is about eight miles from Columbine High School.

Gotta love the cuck who immediately, not even before the bodies turned cold, is demanding gun control.
