DENVER — At least three people are in critical condition after a shooting involving an “active assailant” at Evergreen High School in Jefferson County, officials said Wednesday afternoon.

The county’s 911 dispatch center posted at 12:40 p.m. about an assailant near the high school at 29300 Buffalo Park Road and described it as an “active scene” in a post on social media at 12:40 p.m.

Three people from the high school are being treated at CommonSpirit St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood and are in critical condition, spokesperson Lindsay Radford said.

Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office officials confirmed at least two students were shot and were being taken to the hospital.

Parents and guardians should not go to the high school because of ongoing police activity. A reunification area is set up at Bergen Meadow Elementary, 1928 S. Hiwan Drive.

Agents from the Denver division of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are also responding to the shooting, spokesperson Crystal McCoy said.

In a statement, Gov. Jared Polis said he is carefully monitoring the situation at Evergreen High School and Colorado State Patrol troopers are on scene to support local law enforcement.

“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,” Polis said.

Jeffco Public Schools officials said the district does not have any additional information from law enforcement about the shooting.
