The corpse of 17-year-old Austin Lyle, who had allegedly shot and wounded two faculty members at his Denver high school, was identified by the Park County Coroners Office in a Facebook post. This had occurred after the East High School student was subjected to a “safety plan” that involved searching him for weapons due to previous behavioral issues. Following the shooting, Denver Police Department tweeted that a body had been located near the suspect’s vehicle and the identity and cause of death would be determined by the Park County Medical Examiner’s Office. Chief Ron Thomas specified that the student was subject to a safety plan requiring him to be searched at the start of the school day.
The attack happened when the dean and other staff were conducting the search and the student escaped, brandishing the handgun used in the shooting. Both victims were taken to a hospital where one was in critical condition and the other was in serious but stable condition. Three years ago, the Denver school board had voted to get rid of the program that assigned armed city police officers, known as school resources officers, to its public school campuses, therefore relying on their own security team. In reaction to the shooting, the two armed police officers will be sent back to East High School and classes will be canceled for the rest of the week, as confirmed by Alex Marrero, the district superintendent.
