Guard at Colorado school shooting may have shot at deputies, wounded student

An armed security guard at a Colorado school may have mistakenly fired on sheriff's deputies and wounded a student amid a highly chaotic shooting rampage at the campus this week, authorities told ABC News on Thursday.

Investigators are probing the security guard's actions during the chaos that broke out Tuesday afternoon at the Highlands Ranch STEM School when two students allegedly opened fire on classmates, killing one student and injuring others, a law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation told ABC News.

Detectives are trying to determine if gunshots directed at Douglas County Sheriff's deputies responding to the scene were mistakenly fired by the security guard, whose name has not been released, and whether the guard shot and wounded a student during the episode, a law enforcement official said.

attending a STEM School. Do understand the stress and tensions Kid endured . It is a pressure cooker of learning and some Children will not make it. But when you have someone walking the Halls carrying a exposed Side Arm,what the hell could possible go wrong with that picture.

Here in Vegas,we have issues with our Security Officers in our Schools. Mostly inappropriate contact with Students. Seems to be a slap on the Hand and oh well,just another day.
