The two students wounded in the Wednesday shooting at Evergreen High School remain in two separate hospitals in critical condition.
One student is in CommonSpirit St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood and is in critical but stable condition. The other person was moved from St. Anthony to Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora and was in critical condition Thursday. A more recent update on their condition was not yet available Friday morning.
The students were wounded in the attack at the school in the foothills west of Denver when another student, Desmond Holly, 16, fired on them with a revolver. Jefferson County Sheriff’s said Desmond shot two of his schoolmates -- including 18-year-old Matthew Silverstone — before turning the gun on himself.
Desmond died later Wednesday at the hospital. The name of the second student who was shot has not been released.
Sheriff's officials said one victim was shot inside the school and the other was shot in the street behind Evergreen High while attempting to flee.
Evergreen High School remained closed, with authorities noting Thursday that the building needed "cosmetic" repairs, including replacing broken windows and lockers with bullet holes, before classes could resume.
Nearby Wilmot Elementary School also was closed on Friday.
Conifer High School, Evergreen and West Jefferson middle schools, and Elk Creek, Marshdale, Parmalee and West Jefferson elementary schools were operating on a two-hour delay on Friday.
This is a developing story.
