Classes were canceled for the rest of the week at Evergreen High School after a shooting shook the school on Wednesday, leaving two students hospitalized and the suspected assailant dead.
“Our hearts are broken with grief by the tragedy at our school earlier today,” Evergreen officials said in a Wednesday night community bulletin announcing the canceled classes.
It’s currently unknown when students will be able to re-enter the high school to retrieve their personal belongings, school officials said.
Three students were shot at Evergreen High School just before 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, law enforcement officials said. As of that night, one had died and one remained in critical condition, hospital spokesperson Lindsay Foster said.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the student who died was the suspected shooter, but did not release the teen’s name. The suspect died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Hospital officials told Denver7 that the second victim was in “fair” condition Wednesday night and had been transferred out of the hospital to a different facility.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office victim services unit plans to operate a resource and information center at the old location of Bergen Meadow Elementary on Thursday and Friday, according to the agency.
