The Denver Post writes:

The reports of shots fired came at 1:53 p.m., according to a Douglas County Sheriff’s Office tweet. Deputies and police officers “were on scene almost immediately,” (Douglas County Undersheriff Holly) Nicholson-Kluth said. They entered the school, found some sort of “struggle,” and took two suspects into custody.

The newspaper adds:

Two male students, one who is an adult and one who is a juvenile, are in custody, Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said.

The suspects went “deep inside the school” and engaged in two locations, he said. The suspects used at least one handgun but it was unknown what other weapons might have been used.

Fernando Montoya, the father of a STEM School student, said his son was shot three times but is doing OK. We're told at least eight people were injured.

NBC says:

The campus is just eight miles southeast of Columbine High School in Littleton, site of the most infamous mass shooting in U.S. history, as two gunmen murdered 12 fellow students and a teacher before killing themselves on April 20, 1999.
