Sheriff: School shooting outside Denver injures at least 7

Highlands Ranch, Colo. • Gunfire erupted inside a suburban Denver middle school Tuesday, wounding at least seven people before two suspects were taken into custody, authorities said.

Douglas County Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth said she did not believe there were any other shooters, but tactical teams were still conducting a room-by-room search of the building. She did not know if there were fatalities or offer any details about the wounded.

The shooting occurred at the middle school at STEM School Highlands Ranch, a public charter school with more than 1,850 students in kindergarten through 12th grades.
