Officials have identified the shooting suspect as 16-year-old Desmond Holly, who died at a Lakewood hospital on Wednesday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound he sustained after the shooting. The suspects family has been cooperative with authorities as they investigate and plan to search his home, phone and school locker, Kelley said.
The Denver Post reported later Thursday that social media accounts apparently belonging to the suspect were filled with white supremacist content, posts exhibiting a fascination with mass shootings and reposted videos that were explicitly antisemitic or depicted people in Nazi uniforms.
The two victims of the shooting 18-year-old Matthew Silverstone and another student who has not yet been identified remained in critical condition at local hospitals, where Kelley said there is security present.
