Sept. 10 (UPI) -- Three students were injured Wednesday after a gunman opened fire at a Denver-area high school, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said, later adding that the suspect had died.
The shooting happened at around 12:34 p.m. MDT at Evergreen High School, JCSO spokeswoman Jacki Kelley said in a news briefing.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office announced Wednesday night that the suspect, a male student, had died from "self-inflicted injuries."
Authorities initially said the suspect had been injured, but it wasn't revealed who was responsible. The JCSO said it didn't believe law enforcement fired any bullets and Kelley declined to provide any details such as a name, age or gender about the shooter due to his age.
