Students in Colorado are once again living a nightmare after another school shooting. Two teenagers were shot Wednesday at Evergreen High School, outside Denver. Authorities said the shooter, another student, turned the gun on himself and later died.
Police rushed to the scene within minutes, locking down a school of more than 900 students as parents waited in fear to reunite with their children.
One victim remains in critical condition, and the other is stable.
Colorado is no stranger to mass shootings — Columbine in 1999, Aurora in 2012 and Boulder in 2021, and now Evergreen joins the tragic list. It marks the 47th school shooting in the U.S. this year alone.
The grandfather of two students at the school, who had already lost loved ones in the 2021 Atlanta spa shootings, said, “We always say not again, and here we are.”
My heart goes out to the victims of the Evergreen shooting and their families as they grapple with this senseless act of violence. I, the Evergreen Community, and the entire State of Colorado are devastated by this and will keep the victims, as well as their friends and family,… pic.twitter.com/owlNpDRKEg

Gov. Jared Polis said, “This kind of violence has no place in Colorado, especially our schools where kids should feel safe to learn and grow.”
