The suspects are in custody, officials in Douglas County say. Sheriff Tony Spurlock said neither of the shooters — one is an adult and one is a juvenile — was injured.They were able to get deep inside the school, Spurlock said, and began shooting. Within about two minutes, Spurlock said, the first deputy arrived and confronted a suspect. Shots were fired, and deputies struggled with the suspects before taking them into custody, he said.
The injured students, some of whom were in surgery in critical condition as Spurlock spoke, were 15 years old or older, he said. Five patients had been admitted to Littleton Adventist Hospital, according to spokeswoman Wendy Forbes. Four were in serious condition and one in fair condition. With so many students at the school, Spurlock said shortly after 6 p.m., “we are frantically trying to identify every one of those and making sure we can connect them with their parents.”
Hopefully the shooters will receive the death penalty
No they didn’t die they passed over and no it’s not a shooting it’s called MURDER.
1818kennedy This is terrifying. Sickening.
Our poor children.
We need to do something to stop this.
Awful. We need GunReformNow
This may help Keep freaks away from our kids. This contraption I seen on SharkTankABC , its so interesting and I think all schools 🏫 really should have. It’s cheap and simple. Two 🇺🇸 army soldiers designed it. It even has a remote control. Please retweet. God bless 🇺🇸.
As a parent with school age kids, this is my worst nightmare. Please don’t publish the names or images of the asshole shooters. Please do make sure you identify where they got their weapons, the type and how many they had.
미국의 총기사고....총기자유화가 태생시킨 비극...끝없이 이어진다. 서부개척 시대의 총잡이 들도 아닌데....
Can’t deal with this anymore. My intuition tells me that Trump has spread so much hatred in two years that shootings are the direct results.
💔
And national mourning begins yet again.
I am sad and would like to hear about this student and the others before we hear anything about the perpetrators.
Damn. More traumatized children and families.
Just to let everybody know this no amount of gun laws or background checks will ever cure the root issue of this problem and why it keeps happening, and that is mental health as long as they don't address the issue the main issue this will keep happening again and again.
Mental health is the problem and there’s no place for these people to be checked out because Obama close them down
I have a strong guess what the gop and nra will blame, it is something that is legal in Colorado but it is not a gun.
