A student who authorities say opened fire at his Colorado high school on Wednesday, wounding two classmates and then turning the gun on himself, has died, according to the local sheriff's office.
The gunfire at Evergreen High School broke out at about 12:24 p.m. local time, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
Three students were taken to the hospital in critical condition following the gunfire, including the suspected shooter, who was injured by a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the sheriff's office said.
The sheriff's office confirmed the suspect died in a post on social media Wednesday evening.
Authorities have not publicly released his identity.
One of the wounded students with non-life-threatening injuries was released Wednesday night, with the second wounded student remaining in critical condition, hospital officials said on Thursday.
