Oh this is interesting. Anyone know the details?

I had lunch with an old friend today and he mentioned it to me. I'm proud to hear the students are being rational and focusing on the good that came from the ordeal and refusing not to be victims. When I drove into the neighborhood a few minutes ago the HRCA signs had supportive messages using hashtag #STEMstrong.

My friend's wife is a teacher in another DougCo school and they had a threat on the school today. It was mentioned that there were a couple of related arrests, but a bunch of the students and teachers were uncomfortable about the situation being so close to the STEM shooting and are going home early.

Rational teenagers at a school that focuses on things where feelings don't matter more than truth and sensibility. Go figure.

Media does not seem to be publicizing very well that the guard was armed and took down one shooter with his gun without loss of life. Hopefully this news gets out more and they publicize how shools are armed and not soft targets anymore.

Once people realize this, potential killers will stop going for schools but the media needs to push this narrative!

Now Channel 9 News is reporting that unconfirmed information may indicate the guard shot one of the students, or aimed his weapon at a responding Douglas County Deputy?

Got a link for that? Seems like rather HUGE news but I don't see it anywhere. If that is true, then alot of eyewitnesses will have some explaining to do because that matches up with non of the reported accounts so far.

It seems to me the Media has already started to move on. National news have dropped this and local already has it down the page less important than an inch of snow.

HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. ? An armed private security guard who was assigned to the Highlands Ranch Colorado STEM school campus may have mistakenly fired at Douglas County deputies responding to the scene and injured a student, according to ABC News.

A top law enforcement official told ABC News that detectives are trying to determine if a round from the security officer?s firearm struck and wounded an innocent student. The source said the investigation is in its early stages and authorities are speaking with the security guard to learn more.

The student?s condition is not clear.

Authorities responded to the school just before 2 p.m. on Tuesday after a shooting that injured eight people and killed 18-year-old Kendrick Castillo.

A Douglas County Sheriff?s Department spokeswoman said she would not comment, citing the ongoing investigation, according to ABC News.

The school?s security officer is employed by BOSS High Level Protection. On Wednesday night, CEO Grant Whitus told ABC News that he was unaware of reports his employee may have fired at a deputy and wounded a student.

Unnamed "sources" again.
Sounds like someone possibly trying to turn the effectiveness of armed security on campus into a liability.
Have to wait and see.

The kids get it.

Cherry Creek school district has an alternative high school. They really aren't as uncommon as some of you make it sound.

The excellent jr high / middle school that I attended in Boulder got turned into the alternative high school.

Good on the kids for calling bs on the politician/media playbook for gun control. That was probably quite a shock that the crowd didn't lap up the usual song an dance.
