Two administrators were seriously injured in a shooting at East High School in Denver, Colorado, on Wednesday morning. According to Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas, police were called at around 9:50 a.m. and discovered the wounded East High School administrators.
The shooter, a student who was under a “safety plan” that required him to be patted down every morning, fled the school after opening fire and remains at large. Thomas declined to identify the suspect, citing his status as a juvenile, but did say officials know who he is and would be executing a search warrant at his home.
Both staffers were transported to Denver Health Medical Center where one is listed in serious but stable condition. The student is a minor and was not identified by police.
The search for the suspect is ongoing. Thomas said that during the search of the suspect’s home, a weapon was retrieved. It is unclear what prompted the shooting or what the student’s motive may have been.
The incident is a reminder of the importance of safety protocols in schools and the need for increased security measures to ensure the safety of students and staff.
