HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. — At least seven students have been injured following reports of shots fired at 1:53 p.m. at STEM School Highlands Ranch at South Ridgeline Boulevard and Plaza Drive, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
There is possibly an eighth injury as well, according to Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth, a spokesperson for the Sheriff's Office.
The Sheriff's Office said deputies have two suspects in custody and they do not believe there is a third suspect.
The scene is still active and unstable, and people are being asked to avoid the area.
Nicholson-Kluth said the shooting began in the middle school and that many shots were fired. As officers entered the school, they still heard shots being fired, she said.
Swat teams are on-scene and actively searching the school. Kluth said law enforcement sends in rescue teams to look for victims and suspects.
