"The three students, including the suspected shooter, were taken to CommonSpirit St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood. As of Wednesday evening, one remained in serious condition, and another was upgraded to stable condition and transferred to a different facility, spokesperson Lindsay Radford told Axios Denver. A fourth person was injured, though that individual was not shot, Jefferson County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Jacki Kelley told reporters."
"Zoom in: The suspected shooter - a juvenile male armed with a handgun - fired on schoolmates before sustaining a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities confirmed Wednesday evening. His age, as well as information about the victims, have not been made known. Federal law enforcement, including the FBI, responded to the incident. Local authorities arrived within two minutes of being alerted, officials said."
"Investigators plan to search the suspect's home, car and locker to learn more about him and his motive, Kelley said. They are also interviewing numerous students who witnessed the shooting. What they're saying: "Students should be able to attend school safely and without fear across our state and nation," Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement, adding he was closely monitoring the situation. In a statement on X, Colorado U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet said he was "horrified" to hear what had happened."
