Seven people have been injured in a shooting at a Denver school where two suspects have been taken into custody and a third is still feared to be on the loose. The shots were reported at STEM School Highlands Ranch on Tuesday afternoon at 1.53pm. Two people are in custody and police feared that a third was at large but they have now said they do not believe there is still a threat. Witnesses say one injured person was seen being carried out by a cop on their shoulder. Another was seen being taken out on a stretcher, according to another witness. Paramedics are treating other victims on the scene. The school serves children from Kindergarten to 12th grade. It has more than 1800 students. Police have not yet revealed whether the attackers are students or even what their sexes are. Elementary school children were seen walking out of the school with their hands in the air as authorities started evacuating the scene.

Much as many magnet schools from the seventies and eighties. LanternWaste May 2019 #15

A person who is shot but not killed is wounded, he or she is not injured. Cold War Spook May 2019 #7
Not all of the injured may have been shot. Wounded is a subset of injured. Bernardo de La Paz May 2019 #11
Try not to let this injure your sensibilities as it seems to have done. LanternWaste May 2019 #16
