HIGHLANDS RANCH: Two male students armed with handguns burst into a Denver-area school and opened fire on Tuesday, killing one classmate and wounding eight before being taken into custody.
Two surviving victims of the attack at the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math School in Highlands Ranch, a
Denver suburb, remained in serious condition. Others were stable or had been discharged from hospital.
County sheriff Tony Spurlock said the suspects, each armed with a
handgun, opened fire in two separate classrooms. Devon Erickson, 18, was named as one of the suspects, while the other was identified only as a
juvenile. "We're still working toward the motive," he said.
