Two suspects were apprehended after the shooting at the STEM School Highlands Ranch, which covers K-12, Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said. About 1,850 students attend the school, according to its website. The suspects are believed to be students at the school, he said. One is an adult male and one is believed to be a juvenile.The incident rattled an area that just marked the 20th anniversary of the deadly shooting at Columbine High School, about seven miles away from the STEM school.
— DC Sheriff May 8, 2019 The shooting started in the high school just before 2 p.m., authorities said. The suspects walked into the school, and"got deep inside the school," engaging students in two separate locations, Spurlock said. One student, an 18-year-old male, was killed in the school, according to Deputy Cocha Heyden, a spokeswoman for the sheriff's office. Almost immediately, the school notified authorities.
— Douglas County School District May 7, 2019 The STEM School was placed on a lockdown after the shooting, the Douglas County School District said in a tweet. All other Highlands Ranch schools were on a lockout, the tweet said. The lockout was later lifted for Highlands Ranch schools, the district said. CNN's Chris Boyette and Michael Nedelman contributed to this story.
Too bad
Where did the guns come from?
This should be unacceptable to anyone in any party, in any civilized society. Enough is enough! Dear useless politicians: we are sick and tired of your excuses! whether it's mental health, illegal guns, irresponsible gun ownership or martians or aliens...protect our kids!

School Shooter is 18 yrs old , Obama Supporter & hates Christian's according to Reports.The Accomplice is a 16 yr old Transgender ...
My 15 yr old daughter said this is not the combat she signed up for, they have been drafted. They expect us to help them . We can, but are we willing to not have our way & be uncomfortable & have difficult conversations? Asking for the students just wanting a safe place to learn.
So sad.....what is happening?
If the weapons are as widespread as the bread, it is normal for such incidents to occur ... stop weapons in the USA!
The gun facts silently aired today with Brooke Baldwin was powerful. Please invest in air time on other major networks. Kendrick Castillo cannot be another statistic to be ignored.
I can’t stop thinking about Denver’s hero 18yr Kendrick Castillo & UNCC’s hero 21yr Riley Howell who both tackled shooters to save their class in ultimate selfless act. Why do elected cowards on the NRA payroll, letting children fight their battles? We need need new leadership.
2 leftists shooting up the school including a transgender student- expect the media to sweep this one under the rug ASAP
well gee nra, we must not have enough guns yet? we ALL know that you can only fix this by getting more guns into the hands of basically every man woman and child. Teachers, crossing guards, the lunch lady, the secretly bad ass janitor. Wont someone please think of the guns?
Wonder if Trumps wall gon help situations like this 😏 shit is sad. It’s your own people.
America doesn't need to be at war with other countries....it is at war with itself ....and the kids suffer....guns guns and more guns..
I can’t believe the second suspect was a transgender in the middle of transforming from a boy to a girl. Can you please confirm? Every other news outlet has confirmed but I will only believe it if CNN confirms.
And still, the President has not done enough to push laws to help prevent more senseless deaths. Absolutely shameful.
They are no longer students. Now they are felonious murderers. And it is time for them to be dealt with by a judge and jury in a courtroom where this belongs. Their parents cannot help them now. Society will determine their fate.
When will our states start funding more security at schools? Fences and metal detectors. It’s sad, but gun laws won’t stop it. Need to protect our children.
Stop talking about the shooters!!!! You keep encouraging this by discussing the shooter and showing their picture. Take a note from New Zealand, don’t even say their name.
Some people think they should have the right to own guns in order to protect democracy. They may ask for RPGs tomorrow，or even nuclear weapons.
😢💔
This is a heartbreaking
😢
What is going on with our youth that their answer to anger and frustration is to shoot their peers? Shame, shame on us for not taking care of our kids mental health. Stop the stigma
Are kids today unable to deal with issues that they resort to violence automatically? What is the root cause of these kids resorting to violence? Is it mental health issues, bullying, social media bulling, brain washing? What is the real issue? I’m sick of hearing it’s about guns
Immediately everyone says its about the guns. Its about the raising of our children. You let them play violent video games all day and when they pick up a gun and have no respect for it or others, its the guns fault.
Add this shooting to the list
Add this shooting to the list!!
May the family be console
And the band plays on.....
This should be an Embarrasment to the entire country ✝️❤️🌷
But hey, let’s keep the guns around! This will never end. How many more people need to die?
Prayers for all effected
Another far left Christian hating extremist raised by Obama
I’m devastated every time, but never surprised 😔
😡
Simple thing 1 simple thing and then it's politics people arguing whether a gun something designed to do harm not good should it be allowed in large quantities to civilians look at the UK n their gun laws do they have the same problem as US or even China do they ..
It’s real and daily life in US
This is the 116th mass shooting of 2019.
Is so sad.
Are the shooters illegals? Just curious.
The gun owner should pay the price when a minor gains access to his or her gun(s).
America keeps repeating the same BS issue and these politicians are useless. How many red tapes does it take to make a change for. Better? Honestly what is the government fearing? Its citizens from going to war? Come on now! It's going to get worse the way this country is headin
What other encouragement does America need to drop guns - Organized crime from school kids?
Two shooters. It looks like history is repeating itself...
I don't really care, do you? Thoughts and prayers! 🤷♂️
Thoughts and prayers? 🤷♂️
Keep glorifying old school shootings so that new ones keep happening. The woman who was obsessedwith colombines shootings bought a weapon and then killed herself! Stop it
I applied the niggee meaning like ordered to Orlando Sherriff asked me too, and he said make sure I told her too for the man she lives I simply said men I love and yes they have the meaning
How many kids have to die before our politicians wake up and stop letting the NRA lead them around on a monetary leash?!?! This MUST end!!! For the love of PETE just think about something besides you overstuffed pockets! GunControlNow SaveOurKids
Shame on American gun owners. If you're a legal gun owner, you should support more legislation and control on guns. It doesn't hurt. Shame on the American government. Shame shame shame.
God, guns, and government...🤦🏼♂️
😪This literally makes me nauseous
When will you take away most of your weapons?
That is really messed up
Ugh, here we go again...another unfortunate tragedy & several more days of the left squawking about banning guns.
NRA... too early to start talking about gun reform.
Completely heartbreaking. A terrible reflection on humanities value of life.
Looks like we got 35 feet secure here, from any blow up
so we raising the legal age to purchase weapons right?
Columbine was 20 years ago?! And not a fucking thing has changed. 😥
Here we go the blame game.
This is just awful. So sad.
OH My Goodness
Whhhhhyyyyy!!!?!!
This happened today and all they have talked about for the last hour is how much our president sucks 😞 No shit, same day same story.. Disappointing!
We must rename all schools and identify them as Uterus. That way, all the so-called evangelical “christians” will take up the fight to protect & save all the children inside them.
String them up.
Need to fix broke kids and poor parenting
GunControlNow CommonSenseGunLaws
Enough ok. Take the guns. Oh you need guns to protect against a tyrannical government? You nutters do realise the government has nuclear weapons. Its like you having feathers and the government having tanks. Take the guns. Enough.
PUBG effect? Heuheu
Why is there always a shooting in America? It is strange that the US government does not stand on the side of the American people?
victoria_scherr I’m so sick of this shit .
SenCoryGardner SenatorBennet RepKenBuck
Is there any place that's safe in America in this modern age? We need God's intervention, Lord Jesus come soon....
Why are these kids targeting their peers? What are these kids doing to each other that makes one want to kill another student. This needs looked at. 👆
So painful
Hay, Trump-maybe stop the tweeting about pathetic effort to spread yet another lie and do your job!!! Guns are killing in our schools. You have done nothing except support the NRA. These people might like a word from their president if you could take a moment from tweeting.
One is too many
“This Is America “
A msg to the person thats always screaming black on black crime. Now as you can see theres white on white crime as well.
So sad
Each and every time, it rips my heart out. It continues. And we allow it.
Let me guess... plenty of “though & prayers”....
God bless the family
Here we go again. Too many guns. Too many lives lost.
Jesus wept. -- John 11:35
Shame on this country.
In the comments: people exploiting tragedies to push their agenda.
' G O D B L E S S '
But guns are making us safer. Okay Sure
Why do we continue to allow this to happen over and over. I believe that we need additional gun control. However, I don't think anyone needs military style weapons & 100,000 rounds to protect their home. Guns not only issue. People have no value of life. How do we fix that?
This is so heartbreaking.
*&^%%$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is he a terrorist? No ,Why !? Because he is not Muslim ! (Racial media)

It’s been twenty years and nothing has been done about these school shootings. Prayers are not enough.
This is a terrible tragedy heartbreaking💔
UNTIL WHEN?
What a sensational headline
Awful. 💔💔💔
So glad the gop is focused on doctors and parents committing infanticide, which isn’t happening, while born children are being murdered in their school rooms.
If nothing changes in DC, nothing will change in these schools
Guns are the common thread, not the wide variety of motives used by gunmen. We need regulation.
Not enough corpses to make CNN coverage. They're leading with Trump's taxes.
regular Tuesday nowadays
This is every day America why is this making news
Mental health emergency. Insane asylums need to be re-opened.
God rest his soul and ours too
