Authorities in Colorado have identified the suspect in this week’s high school shooting as a 16-year-old student, stating that preliminary investigations suggest he was “radicalized by some extremist network.” The statement was issued by the local sheriff’s department following the tragic incident that left multiple students injured and prompted a lockdown across the campus.
Law enforcement officials are working with federal agencies to trace the suspect’s online activity and potential connections to extremist groups. While the specific network has not been publicly named, investigators believe the shooter may have been influenced by ideologically driven content accessed through digital platforms.
The suspect was taken into custody at the scene and is currently undergoing psychiatric evaluation. No fatalities have been reported, and all injured students are receiving medical care.
Officials emphasized that the investigation is ongoing and urged the public to avoid speculation. The incident has reignited concerns over youth exposure to radical content and the need for early intervention strategies in schools and communities.
