KCNC (denver) reports that the standoff at Platte Canyon High School in Bailey, Colorado has ended.
Around 4pm, the two remaining hostages were free from captivity. One walked away, and one had to be airlifted. I haven't heard any names yet. Basically, this dude (a middle aged unidentified man) ran up into a highschool with a gun and took 6 hostages.
I heard some rumblings about an explosion that prompted an evacuation at the school and lockdowns at surrounding schools.
According to KCNC, Bill Twyford said he received a text message from his 15-year-old son Billy, a student at the high school, at about 11:30 a.m. It said: "Hey there, there's a gun hijacking in school right now. I'm fine, bad situation though."
The Park County Sheriff's Department has stated the gunman turned the gun on himself after police officers raided the room in which he was barricaded at around 4pm. 9 news now reports that the injured girl was shot in the head and was in grave condition.
