Colorado school shooting leaves at least 1 dead, 8 injured; 2 in custody, sheriff's office says

Two suspects were in custody Tuesday night after a shooting at a Colorado high school left at least one person dead and eight others injured, according to authorities.

The suspects were identified as 18-year-old Devon Erickson and a juvenile accomplice. The shooting took place at a STEM school in Highlands Ranch, a Denver suburb only about 7 miles from Littleton, site of the infamous Columbine High School mass murder in 1999.

"It is with extreme sadness that we can confirm that 1 student at the STEM School was killed in today’s #stemshooting incident," the Douglas County Sheriff's Office wrote in a Twitter message. "The immediate family has been notified."
