Stem Academy in Highlands Ranch shooting

[Ramsker]

Weather about to turn to crap down here, too. At least it sounds like it's over and weather shouldn't hamper getting victims out or anything. But might make other operations more difficult.

4 at Littleton Adventist in "serious" condition . . . 1 in "fair".

Thoughts and prayers out to all touched by this senseless act of violence.

If anyone on this site is directly affected by this event and there is something that we can do for you/your family, please let us know.

Denver 7 talking with the father of a victim. Evidently the young man (17) was hit three times, and will be released from Skyridge within an hour. Modern medicine is truly remarkable.

Good to hear. Maybe a .22 was used? Hoping all injured make quick recoveries.

I was at the Walgreen's at Broadway and HR Pkwy, traffic was backed up northbound on Broadway. Officers up at Ridgegate directing traffic. I'm hearing sirens, helicopters, saw a Trooper drive by in the rearview, and I ask the pharmacist at the drive through if something was going on, and she mentioned a shooting at a school nearby. Was surprised that it was the STEM school.

Got home and turned on the news. Talking heads saying that it's 20 years after Columbine and nothing has changed. Yeah, because you idiots go after guns rather than putting good guys with guns at the schools.

My kids just got home from Vista. They know several people at STEM . . . sounds like all of them were safe. One of their friends apparently was in a room where the shots were fired, but they didn't know any details beyond that their friend was ok.

I would never want to get shot, but if I did, I'd hope it was a .25. Those aren't real common and based on comments from one gentleman that found a kid by his mailbox that was shot in the back, I'd guess .22 with a very short barrel. Get a little steam behind a 40gr. solid and those suckers have dangerous penetration.

Prayers go out to those kids and families affected. I hope that meaningful school protection is put in place, but I'm not holding my breath.

Sounds like shooters were engaged in 2 minutes. Both suspects thought to be students at STEM school . . . sheriff thinks it's one adult and one juvenile.
