(Image courtesy of Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office)Desmond died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound he sustained during the attack, according to the sheriff’s office. Investigators believe he opened fire just before 12:30 p.m. at the school at 29300 Buffalo Park Road, wounding two other students.
Two students remained in critical condition Thursday at Denver-area hospitals.
Desmond lived with his family in a sprawling mountain home on a private lane outside Kittridge. He rode the bus to school and used a revolver in the attack.
“He’s radicalized by some extremist network,” said Jefferson County spokeswoman Jacki Kelley. She said that radicalization was shown in information found in Desmond’s phone and home, but offered no other details.
Desmond used a revolver during the attack and brought “quite a bit of ammunition” with him, Kelley said.
“He would fire and reload, fire and reload,” she said. “This went on and on. He tried to find new targets. He came up to a roadblock on many of those doors — he couldn’t get to those kids.”
