Overview

• Hospital officials say both students wounded on Sept. 10 are now in fair condition after multiple surgeries.
• The 14-year-old’s family says he and a friend faced the shooter before lockdowns were announced, allowing classmates time to flee.
• After being shot at close range, the teen ran to a nearby recreation center where an EMT provided critical first aid, and he is now communicating in writing.
• The other victim, 18-year-old Matthew Silverstone, also confronted the attacker and remains hospitalized as family and community fundraisers support his recovery.
• The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office confirms the student who died by suicide was the sole shooter, reports no prior contacts or evidence of a hit list, and notes the FBI’s role in the ongoing probe as the school proceeds with a phased return.
