A gunman opened fire at a high school in Colorado on Friday, wounding two fellow students before killing himself, authorities said.
One of the students who was wounded confronted the gunman at Arapahoe High School in Centennial, who shot the youth, Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said. That student was in surgery in serious condition, he said.
The student was reported in good condition with a minor gunshot wound.
The shooter, a male student, said he was looking for a specific teacher by name when the incident began about 12:30 p.m. (2:30 p.m. ET), Robinson said.
"The teacher exited the school immediately, which was, in my opinion, the most important decision he could have made," Robinson said. "It was a very good tactical decision to try to take the student with him."
Police found the shooter in a classroom about 20 minutes after they began their search, Robinson said. He said investigators knew his identity and were talking to his family.

Thankfully the perp decided to end the standoff before the police arrived.
In this case the only way to stop the bad guy with a gun was the bad guy with a gun.
Communists are fluoridating the water to rob us of our precious bodily fluids. They should be drinking rain water or grain alcohol.
It's “GunPerson”, not gunman!
How many times do you male chauvinist pigs have to be told that? Such patriarchal, linear logic, Eurocentric communication is not amusing!
Or, maybe it is?
“They should be drinking rain water or grain alcohol.”
They do.
They just call it vodka.
And, they do drink it like water.
Oh, I don’t know. Chuck Conners was the “Rifleman.” ;)
Had the same thought, that kid is a hero, but will probably be blamed for getting involved and causing the “gunman” to kill himself. Like in Sharia law where the girl is punished for being raped.
And why did the folking cops make the innocent come out with their hands up?
I am outraged
but...but...he carried a carbine.
” but “it’s also in the same county “
Arapahoe County is very wide. The distance between that school and the theater is about 30 miles.
Scratch that. 15 miles.
I heard the cop spokesman say the suspect is “currently deceased”? What? Is that maybe going to change later on?
So it took them 20 minutes before they went in after him???
Ohh that's right -- they had to look for a secondary gunman, check the woods, wait for the news copters, and give him time to commit suicide.
Right now, ABC news with Diane Sawyer is really running with this story.
Just another liberal kook who got caught up in the state controlled “media’s” gala celebration of the Sandy Hook anniversary. The “media” instigates this crap. “Shoot up a school and we’ll make you famous!”
Did any of the kids blew a whistle or wet themselves per CO Democrat recommendation?
Another major point, the kid was looking for a specific teacher, who if located, would have been killed because he was unarmed...........
Obviously one of those dangerous gun-free zones, where it is illegal to have a gun.
Very poorly written. I can’t tell what happened when to whom.
