According to an official statement by St. Anthony Hospital CEO Kevin Cullinan, one of the teens is in stable condition now and has non-life-threatening injuries.
Parents Panic After Shooting
The parents of the students panicked and gathered outside the school after they learned about the shooting incident.
The mother of a 15-year-old student said she got worried as her daughter did not answer her call after the shooting. She was relieved only after the girl called her back from a borrowed phone, as per a report by the Denver Post.
“She just said she was OK. She couldn’t hardly speak,” Wendy Nueman said.
“It’s super scary,” she said. “We feel like we live in a little bubble here. Obviously, no one is immune.”
There are over 900 students in the school which is largely surrounded by forest. It is about a mile from the centre of Evergreen.
