DENVER — The 17-year-old student who police say shot two East High School administrators Wednesday was on probation for a prior weapons charge, The Denver Post confirmed.
Prosecutors charged Austin Lyle with possessing a dangerous weapon and a large-capacity magazine in late 2021 after he was arrested by Aurora police, The Post found.
Lyle was accepted into a diversion program — which allows charges to be dismissed if a defendant meets certain conditions, but that agreement was later revoked.
