HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colorado (AP) – Authorities say eight students were injured in a shooting a suburban Denver school, and several are in critical condition.
The suspects in the shooting are students at the school; one adult and one juvenile.
Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said at a news conference Tuesday that two shooters walked into the school and opened fire on students in two classrooms.
He said a number of students were shot and wounded. The victims are all 15 and older.
