At least three teenagers, including the suspected shooter, are in critical condition after a shooting at Evergreen High School in Jefferson County, Colorado, on Wednesday.

One of the three students who has been hospitalized is the suspected shooter, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s office confirmed in a post. The students are being treated at CommonSpirit St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood, Colorado.

The shooting took place at midday about 30 miles southwest of Denver at a high school of 900 students. Hundreds of law enforcement rushed to the scene. The school has since been cleared by law enforcement and there is no longer an ongoing threat, according to local police.

“My heart is with the students, parents, and teachers at Evergreen High School. Today, we grieve for those critically shot and those left frightened and shaken,” Archbishop Samuel Aquila of Denver said in a statement.

When will this ever end?

When will this ever end?

When we finally allow people to be armed and defend themselves.

(shrug) I know that's not a popular viewpoint, but it's the truth.

It’s not my viewpoint. I think that will just result in more shootings. It would turn into something like the wild west.

how awful.
Strength to the victims, their families, classmates, and teachers.

If only it were so easy as to repeal gun laws, but if people want to hurt each other, they'll find a way. The UK has issues with knife crime in schools.
Moral accountability and respect are what is needed, old fashioned as it seems.

Maybe. But only for about six months.

After that, the hotheads will be pushing up daisies, and the rest will be a lot....more....cautious.
