A number of students were shot after two other students opened fire on them in Denver.
The two students have been identified as 18-yr-old Devon Erickson and a juvenile accomplice who cannot be named for legal reasons. The shooting took place at a STEM school in Highlands Ranch, a Denver suburb 7 miles from Littleton, the site of the Columbine High School mass murder in 1999.
“It is with extreme sadness that we can confirm that 1 student at the STEM School was killed in today’s #stemshooting incident,” the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a Twitter message. “The immediate family has been notified.”
It’s understood that one 18-yr-old male student is dead while several others are in life threatening condition.
A number of other children were shot but not badly injured, while no staff member was shot in the incident.
