Teen Colorado School Shooter Identified

Several students caught up in the horror opened up about what they experienced in the hours following the shooting.

Evergreen High ninth grader Cameron Jones said he was eating lunch outside when he heard three gunshots. A security guard then told him to run.

He said how he never believed a shooting would happen in Evergreen, which is in a quiet, leafy Denver suburb.

'I thought this was like a one-in-a-million thing, and it still feels surreal that it happened,' Jones told Colorado Public Radio.

Parent Wendy Nueman said her daughter didn´t answer her phone right away after the shooting. When the 15-year-old finally called back, it was from a borrowed phone.

'She just said she was OK. She couldn´t hardly speak,' Nueman told The Denver Post, holding back tears. She gathered that her daughter had run away from the school.

'It's super scary,' she said. 'We feel like we live in a little bubble here. Obviously, no one is immune.'

Photographs shared by police on Wednesday show several officers and sheriffs running towards the school wearing bulletproof vests.

Several emergency vehicles could also be seen lining the streets close to the school.
