DENVER — A student at Denver’s East High School shot two administrators Wednesday morning — leaving one critically injured — while the teen was being searched for weapons, police officials said.
Denver police identified the suspect — who was still at large hours after the shooting — as 17-year-old Austin Lyle, who was last seen wearing a green hoodie and is believed to be associated with a 2005 Red Volvo XC90 with Colorado license plate BSCW10.
Denver police Chief Ron Thomas said the shooting occurred during a “security search” of Lyle based on past behavior — “a regular protocol with this student” — that detected a gun. The student fired shots around 9:50 a.m. “and was able to get out of the school.”
