A shotgun-toting student who was targeting a teacher at a Colorado high school opened fire and injured two students this afternoon before shooting himself dead.
The gunman, who has not been identified by authorities, openly carried the firearm as he entered Arapahoe High School in Centennial just after 12.30pm on Friday and immediately demanded to know where the member of staff was, Sheriff Grayson Robinson said.
He opened fire and shot a female student in the area, the sheriff said. The girl, believed to be 15 or 16, was transported to Littleton Hospital where she is undergoing surgery.
As authorities swarmed the scene, about 20 minutes after the initial call, they found the gunman dead inside the school with an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Hands up: Police search students as they are led out of the school with their hands in the air on Friday afternoon. Two students were injured after a gunman opened fire before he shot himself
Terror: The students kept their hands in the air where the gunman opened fire on Friday afternoon
As they searched the school they found a second student with a minor injury from a gunshot wound. This student has also gone to hospital but they are expected to be released later tonight.
A third student is also being treated for minor injuries at a local hospital.
