Colorado school shooting leaves 8 students injured in Highlands Ranch; 2 suspects in custody

At least eight students are injured and two suspects were taken in custody following a shooting at a Colorado K-12 school, according to local authorities.

The victims were taken to three different hospitals: Children's Hospital Highland Ranch received one victim in good condition, Littleton Adventist Hospital has four victims in serious condition and one in fair condition, and Skyridge Medical Center has two juveniles who were characterized as stable.

The suspects appear to be juveniles, though it's not clear if they were students at the school, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.

Approximately 1,850 students are enrolled at the school. The campus is just miles away from Columbine High School, the scene of a 1999 school shooting where two students killed 12 other students and one teacher.


Police are directing parents to nearby Northridge Recreation Center to pick up their children. The public is asked to avoid the area.

CBS4’s Rick Sallinger talked to a woman who said her daughter is the teacher in the classroom where the shooting apparently happened. Her daughter teaches juniors and seniors.

“I believe the student was targeting her, from what I understand,” said a woman who said she is the mother of Lauren Harper. “She’s with the police right now … she’s a witness.”
