Nome Park is directly across the street from Central HS. Following the shooting, the school operated under a secure perimeter protocol, which happens when there is “a significant risk outside of the building or potential for risk inside of the building.” Nobody was allowed in or out of the school while they were under a secure perimeter.

Aurora PD did not have any descriptions of suspects, only that the department believes it was a drive-by shooting and that there were multiple suspects involved.

Children’s Hospital Colorado told The Colorado Sun that it received three of the patients. Their condition was listed as “stable” and a hospital spokesperson said those teens have been reunited with their families.

Parents and guardians of students at Central HS received an automated message and email from the school system about a controlled dismissal.

Henry Martinez, who lives across the street from the park, told Rocky Mountain PBS he heard between 30 and 50 shots. He said shots were fired from a car. Martinez said he called 911.

A Rocky Mountain PBS journalist on scene noticed at least 10 bullet casings near the media staging area at 13th and Nome.

“My heart breaks for these children,” tweeted State Rep. Dominique Jackson, a democrat who represents Aurora. “My thoughts are with them and their families as we await more information.

Wilson encouraged anyone in the area with a doorbell camera that may have captured the shooting to send the recording to police. She also urged parents and guardians of Central HS students to ask their children to come forward with any information that may be useful to the investigation.

Aurora PD has been releasing information on Twitter. You can follow along here.

Governor Jared Polis, who was in Washington, D.C. Monday, released the following statement:

“I am so saddened by the violence that took place in Aurora today. Our children need to feel safe in parks, in our schools and parents need peace of mind that their students are safe in our neighborhoods. My prayers are with the victims, their families, and all of the concerned students and parents in Aurora. I have spoken with Mayor Coffman and extended my administration’s support as the investigation evolves, reiterating my commitment to working with our cities to ensure that tragedies like this don’t continue to happen in our communities, and hope the perpetrator or perpetrators will be brought to justice.”
