Wow, thats crazy. Another Colorado shooting in the national news

They are still patting everyone down, so either they don't have the shooter or want to make sure there isn't an accomplice

Hopefully its not littleton hospital. I know it is as it is just down the street but that hospital does have a lot of dumb people working there.

I just heard at least 1 victim is headed to Swedish.

Wheew, that is a relief. They will be just fine at swedish.

Another ambulance just went blazing by my work. Wonder if there are more injuries.

Reports are that the shooter committed suicide, but I haven't had confirmation of that

Edit; That is confirmed, suspect is dead of self-inflicted gunshot wound

1 student is in serious condition, the other injured student has 'minor' injuries

Student was targeting a teacher, apparently, and students confronted the suspect which is why they were shot

Does anyone know who the student was? What was their history?

Oh, man. I hope they don't give this kid all kinds of publicity.

They haven't released names of suspect/victims yet.

FBI is onsite assisting with 3rd clear

I wonder why finding a kid who's already passed away and no threat so time consuming? Is the school THAT large and they are THAT under staffed?? I dont get it. Im sure it cant be a clean scene...

I'm not sure what you are asking. They have no way to verify that that there is only 1 shooter. The suspect was found with potential explosives/incendiaries.

That means 2 things;

They have to check EVERY student/person that come out of that building before evac.

They have to sweep that building spotless to make sure no 'devices' are left over.

This is not a simple job, and is a very dynamic situation.

It is a pretty large high school. Over 2000 students.

Having said all that, what do you mean by 'finding a kid who's already passed away so time consuming?'

from article:

The suspected gunman was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, Robinson said.

The DP is stating 1 reported in critical condition. The local tv stations are reporting in serious condition. This student is a girl, and my sister heard she was shot in the head

Schools need to start letting any willing, responsible teacher carry concealed. I didn't say make them, I said let them if they want to and have a permit.

my school has a giant sign with "no firearms" as you walk in.

But we have a armed security guard.
