'This Is Not Who We Are,' Colorado Officials Say After Deadly School Shooting
One student, identified as Kendrick Ray Castillo, was killed when he reportedly tried to tackle one attacker. The shooting came weeks after the 20th anniversary of the shooting in nearby Columbine.
A day after the shooting at the STEM School in Highlands Ranch, Colo., local officials urged people not to view such attacks as part of life in Colorado.
"These are aberrant acts," 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler said of the attack that happened not long after the 20th anniversary of the school shooting in nearby Columbine.
The shooting injured eight people and left one student dead. Police say he's been identified by the Douglas County coroner as Kendrick Ray Castillo, 18.
"That student was going to graduate and would have been out of school in three days," Douglas County Sheriff that their son was active on the school's robotics team and had recently gone to his first prom.
