A new tragedy in a U.S. school enlutaed the state of Colorado after two people-apparently an 18-year-old and a minor-shot at their classmates, taking one of their lives and injuring eight others.

Around 14:00 local time, “individuals walked into the school, went deep into each other and attacked students in two different locations,” according to Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock.
After the alert issued by the establishment, police officers arrived in the building and, as they entered, they were able to hear the shots. This rapid action, culminating in the arrest of the alleged perpetrators, “helped save lives,” the sheriff said. This school, oriented to science and engineering, is financed by the State but administered autonomously. It has 1,850 students in total: 550 primary, 700 high school and 600 high school. The shooting took place in the facilities of the second level of education. Victims
