This is pretty scary. I hope it really is over with, but it doesn't sound like they have anything conclusive. At least it doesn't look like it will be another school masacre. It doesn't look like the suspect is a student, but I wonder if he is an employee? I dunno, but I'm definitely gonna keep an eye on this to see what it's all about.

Your link has been updated to state that the hostage situation is over and the gunman is dead. No information on other casualties. But only one stretcher was loaded onto an ambulance, so it appears that there are no more.

Yeah, I just got done re-reading it. At least it's over, and hopefully the girl in the stretcher is alright.
I'm really curious about the motive though. Why hold hostages in a school? Was is a parent or former employee? Or maybe a former student looking for revenge?

quote:An armed standoff at a high school in Bailey, Colorado, ended Wednesday with a hostage and gunman being shot.
Sheriff Fred Wegener of the Park County Sheriff Department said it appeared the suspect shot one of the two female hostages -- a student -- and then shot himself when SWAT team officers approached.
Wegener said the gunman's identity and motive were not yet known.
