There is an 18-year old male suspect in custody as well as a juvenile female suspect, according to Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock. On Tuesday, the Sheriff said they had a juvenile male in custody, but Spurlock corrected their gender during a press conference this morning.
The first appearance for the adult male is this afternoon at 3:30 p.m. ET Spurlock said.
Police thought they had two male shooters at first: The female juvenile suspect was believed to be a male at the time they were taken into custody, Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said. It wasn’t until the suspect was brought to the office that they were able to determine the suspect is a female. Spurlock said this is a small, young person and "the identity was not obvious to us."
Spurlock said it’s too early to determine a motive for the shooting.
The Sheriff confirmed two handguns were used in the shooting. No officers exchanged gunfire with the suspects, Spurlock added.
The ATF is working to determine where the two suspects obtained the guns used in the shooting.
Meanwhile, there are three students still in intensive care at hospitals, Spurlock said.
Douglas County will not release the name of the deceased student until the coroner confirms. They intend to release the name later this afternoon, Spurlock said.
About the school: Tuesday’s shooting happened just before 2pMT/5pET in the high school. The school is a ‘free, public charter school’ with 1,850 students in grades K-12, according to their website. The school will be closed for the remainder of the week, according to the Douglas County School District Superintendent.
