The two teenagers are accused of opening fire on fellow students in two classrooms at the STEM charter school in Highlands Ranch on May 7

Two teenagers accused of fatally shooting a classmate and wounding eight others at a Denver-area high school last week were formally charged on Wednesday in a case that the presiding judge has put under seal.

Douglas County District Judge Theresa Slade has put the charges along with the entire case file under seal, banning the public from seeing it. But during Wednesday’s hearing in open court, it was disclosed that McKinney has been charged with first-degree murder and is being tried as an adult.Both Erickson and McKinney, who are being held without bond, were arrested on suspicion of a single count of first-degree murder and 29 counts of attempted murder immediately after the attack.

The attack occurred less than a month after the 20th anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre in nearby Littleton, in which two students shot 13 people to death before committing suicide. The STEM school had no sworn police officer at the 1,850-student campus, after a dispute with the sheriff’s office over the previous school resource officer’s role ended that relationship last year, the school said last week.

Teen who charged Colo. high school shooters remembered as heroThe lone fatality in the Colorado high school shooting was Kendrick Castillo, a friendly 18-year-old who, witnesses said, leaped from his desk in a literature class and charged the two attackers, sacrificing his life to buy classmates time to escape. Too bad the US doesn’t have a governing body that would make teens having to be heroes against a school shooter unnecessary 👀
