Evergreen High School In Colorado Was Placed On Lockdown After Shots Were Fired On Wednesday (September 10)

Evergreen High School, located in Evergreen Colorado, which is 28 miles outside of Denver, was placed on lockdown after shots were fired on campus just after 12pm local time.

Jefferson Country Sheriff’s Office emergency communications said they received word of “an active assailant in the area of Evergreen High School.”

Three students were taken to the hospital and are in critical condition.

In a press conference, Jefferson Country Sheriff’s Office’s Public Information Officer Jaki Kelley said, “We’re not certain how many shooters we have or where that shooter might be. I’m hoping to get more information to you quickly.”

At 1:45pm local time, students were seen exiting campus in a single file line. The reunification center is a nearby elementary school.

Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office gave an update at 2:30pm local time that three people were transported to the hospital and are in critical condition.

In another update, Kelly said she wasn’t sure if the assailant was even old enough to drive.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis Makes A Statement On X

Nearly two hours after the shooting began, Colorado Governor Jared Polis made a statement on x.

He wrote, “I am closely monitoring the situation at Evergreen High School, and am getting live updates. State Troopers are supporting local law enforcement in responding to this situation. Students should be able to attend school safely and without fear across our state and nation. We are all praying for the victims and the entire community.”

This is a developing story.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the students, faculty, and staff of Evergreen High School.
