Multiple people were shot at STEM School Highlands Ranch on Tuesday afternoon just before 2pm local time.

Two suspects believed to be juveniles are in custody, though it is not known whether they are students. While police are still searching the school classroom by classroom, there is no longer believed to be a third suspect, according to Douglas County Undersherriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth. A lockout of all Douglas County schools has been lifted, but after-school activities have been canceled for the entire district.

Administrators called police after shots were fired in the middle school, and first responders were reportedly able to apprehend the suspects within minutes. Investigators from both the FBI and the ATF are also on the scene.

Damn. When I was a kid we toilet papered the trees... maybe spray painted a penis on the front door.. maybe.. no charges were ever filed lol.. but were didn't take guns to school to shoot other people.. wtf is wrong with kids nowadays..

when I was a kid we called in bomb threats that were not real. But this will be used as another gun grab attempt, surely.
