UPDATE: 1 dead, 7 injured after two students open fire on Colorado school

HIGHLANDS RANCH, COLORADO – Two male students armed with guns burst into a Denver-area science and technology school and opened fire on Tuesday , killing one classmate and wounding seven others before being taken into custody, law enforcement officials said.

“Two individuals walked into the STEM school, got deep inside the school, and engaged students in two separate locations,” Spurlock said. Sheriff’s deputies arrived at the school, located about 40km south of Denver, within two minutes of the first reports, Spurlock said, and “engaged the suspects.” A man who identified himself as Fernando Montoya said his 17-year-old son, a junior at STEM, was shot three times, and one of his friends was also wounded.— Jacob Curtis May 7, 2019 Little kids.

“He said a guy pulled a pistol out of a guitar case and started to shoot,” Montoya told ABC affiliate Denver 7. “We are making all of our public safety resources available to assist the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department in their effort to secure the site and evacuate the students,” Polis wrote on Twitter.
