Kendrick Castillo – only days from graduation – acted fast inside of his British literature class at a suburban Denver school Tuesday afternoon. And he paid with his life.
— DC Sheriff May 8, 2019 Douglas County Coroner Jill Roman confirmed Wednesday that the student killed was Castillo, the sheriff's department said in a tweet. But his son, who wanted to study electrical engineering in college, insisted he would act."You raised me this way. You raised me to be a good person. That’s what I’m doing,'" Castillo recalled.

Rachel Short of Bacara USA, a manufacturing business where Castillo began an internship last year, said he performed so well the company gave him a part-time job. Short said Castillo loved engineering and was eager to help people. “He was amazing,” Bedard said. “He was honestly the sweetest kid I ever met. Never said a mean joke.”

Kendrick Castillo, hero killed in Colorado school shooting, was days away from graduation'Kendrick lunged at (the gunman), and he shot Kendrick, giving all of us enough time to get underneath our desks, to get ourselves safe and to run across the room to escape.' It's terrible. And we're continuing to fail our kids. Children & young adults shouldn't have to die a hero's death saving their classmates from bullets. His dying a hero is small (to no) comfort to his family & friends, he should be laughing & graduating not being buried. NeverAgain GunControlNow Most kids have this kind of strength. We don’t give them enough credit. This young man represents what is right!

Kendrick Castillo, The Colorado STEM School Shooting Victim, Was Set To Graduate In Three DaysCastillo, 18, was a four-year member of the robotics team and would have finished his senior year in three days. Absolutely heartbreaking... I don't want to know the names of the assailants. I just want them to rot for the rest of their lives. Such a brave man and hero to tackle one of the shooters and die trying to save his fellow classmates.

Kendrick Castillo was about to graduate from high school. Then a classmate began shooting.Police say the shooting was carried out by other students: 18-year-old Devon Erickson and a younger classmate who has not been identified because she is a juvenile. In wish the pussies in government had as much coverage as this young boy showed yesterday. The NRA needs to thank all the children who die for gun rights. We need to stop putting our children on the front lines of gun violence. We need to stop it from happening in the first place.
