DENVER — (DENVER) -- A student who was required to be patted down at the start of each school day allegedly shot and wounded two school administrators at East High School in Denver, authorities said.
The suspect, Austin Lyle, 17, fled the school after the Wednesday morning shooting, Denver police said. His body was discovered in nearby Park County on Wednesday night after an hours-long manhunt, officials said.
The injured faculty members were both hospitalized. Eric Sinclair remains in serious condition and Jerald Mason has since been released from the hospital, according to the hospital and school district. Last year Lyle was expelled from Overland High School in Aurora for allegedly violating school policy, a spokesperson for the Cherry Creek School District told ABC News.
This year at East High School, Lyle appeared to be a"loner" who didn't seem to have friends, according to two East High School students who did not want to be named.Last month, East High School students went to a city council meeting to call for action on school safety and gun violence after a 16-year-old student was fatally shot near the school, according to ABC Denver affiliate KMGH.
On Thursday, the Denver Board of Education also voted to suspend a policy that prevented armed police officers from being inside the district's schools. The memorandum will suspend the policy through the end of the academic year."I want to extend my heartfelt apologies to the East High School community and the larger DPS community," he said in a letter."No student or employee should have to carry the fear of potential violence when they walk into our buildings each day.
