A student who authorities say opened fire at his Colorado high school, wounding two classmates and then turning the gun on himself, has died, according to the local sheriff’s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gunfire at Evergreen High School broke out at about 12:24 p.m., according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three students were taken to the hospital in critical condition following the gunfire, including the suspected shooter, who was injured by a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the sheriff’s office said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sheriff’s office confirmed the suspect died in a post on social media Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authorities have not publicly released his identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the wounded students remained in critical condition and another was listed in stable condition as of Wednesday evening, according to law enforcement officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fourth student was also transported to the hospital, but with an unknown injury, authorities said earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said he was “devastated” by the shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
