Police tape surrounds East High School following reports of a shooting that left two people injured on Wednesday.Police tape surrounds East High School following reports of a shooting that left two people injured on Wednesday.Two faculty members at Denver's East High School were shot by a male student Wednesday morning, police said. One faculty member was undergoing surgery and the second was stable and talking in the hospital.
Emergency responders received calls of the shooting at around 9:50 a.m., according to Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas and other officials during a news conference at around 11 a.m. local time.Local paramedics were already at the school treating another student who was suffering an allergic reaction. Those paramedics were able to begin treating the two injured faculty members quickly.
At the time of the shooting, the suspect was undergoing a regular morning search by faculty before he entered the school. This was part of a safety plan agreement established with the student due to prior behavioral issues. He previously never brought in a weapon, until today, officials said. The shooting took place at a front office of the school and away from other students and staff.
They were regularly patting him down prior to entry. At what point does the greater good outweigh this violent persons access to victims?
Posting wherever I can: Another victim was transported to the hospital today. A student needed medical attention for the emotional trauma of the shooting at her school. To those asking why: It's the Republicans. Denying that makes you complicit in the torture we inflict on kids.
Why was he patted down every day?
FUCK THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!
Only in a Democrat controlled city and school district could this kid still even be going to school. Oh well, I guess this is what your 'Equity' and 'Restorative Justice' gets you.
There is a shooting almost every school day. Most don't get national coverage.
How much more evidence do we need? ItsTheGuns
So the school had a 'safety plan' in place with this student that specified he had to be physically searched everyday and as he was being searched today he shot 2 administrators. I say arrest the damn negligent parents! Student should have been in a detention center!
Ok, ok, ok... Which one of you wasn't thinking and praying? You know we can stop shooting if you do do your part. 🤪 thoughtsandprayers
It’s time to find another job! Praying for these teachers💔🙏🙏
Why are we waiting for metal detectors to be put in schools? If he had to walk through an area where the metal detector was, before he was searched, this may not have happened. Enough already, protect the kids, put in the metal detectors.
Whose gun? Will they face charges for failing to secure a firearm?
“Male student” - how do you know? How do they identify? You just assumed they are Cisgender? Outraged that NPR would put labels on someone like that. Outraged I say!
We need to be more willing to consider expulsion for students with violent histories.
🤬
Oh look, a school shooting that happened less than 5 blocks away from where my daughter goes to elementary school. This is the 'dead kid lottery' system we are now tied to. It can happen to your conservative kid, or your independent kid, or your liberal kid. We are broken af.
StillUnsocial Was the “male” even necessary at this point? I’m sure we all could have just assumed.
