当局称，在丹佛东部高中，一名学生根据“每天搜身的特定协议”涉嫌开枪打伤两名学校管理人员。
丹佛警方表示，嫌疑人，17岁的奥斯汀·莱尔在周三早上的枪击事件后逃离了学校，对他的搜索仍在进行中。警方周三晚上表示，他的车在位于丹佛西南的帕克县被找到，“寻找嫌疑人的努力正在进行中”。
帕克县治安官汤姆·麦格劳后来在新闻发布会上说，在嫌疑人的车辆附近发现了一具男性尸体。麦格劳说，现场正在处理，验尸官正在前往现场的路上。
枪击中使用的手枪尚未找到，警方警告公众不要靠近莱尔，称他持有武器，非常危险。警方称，因杀人未遂被通缉的莱尔可能驾驶一辆2005年红色沃尔沃XC90，科罗拉多州牌照为BSCW10。
枪击事件发生后，这两名教师都被送进了医院。他们已经被学区确认为埃里克·辛克莱，仍然处于严重状况，和杰拉尔德·梅森，从严重状况升级为良好状况。丹佛健康中心称，梅森已经出院。
官员们说，嫌疑枪手被要求在每天上学开始时接受搜查。据称，周三早上在学校办公区，当学校管理人员对他搜身时，他开枪射击了他们，官员们说，办公区远离其他学生和工作人员。

官员们说，嫌疑人的日常搜查是“安全计划”的一部分，是“先前行为”的结果，但他们没有详细说明先前的行为。
枪击事件发生后，东部高中被封锁。丹佛公立学校后来表示，他们得到了开始释放学生的许可。
上个月，在一名16岁的学生在学校附近被枪杀后，东部高中的学生参加了市议会会议，呼吁对学校安全和枪支暴力采取行动。根据美国广播公司丹佛分公司KMGH。
该负责人周三表示，学校将在本周余下的时间里关闭，该建筑现在将有两名武装人员在场，直到学年结束。
丹佛市长迈克尔·汉考克在一份声明中说，开除学校资源官员是一个“错误”，并说他们应该迅速返回。
“我们都必须作为一个社区站出来，成为解决方案的一部分，”他说。
汉考克还呼吁国会通过“常识”枪支立法。
“父母感到愤怒和沮丧，他们有权这样做，”他说。"在我们的国家，必须解决容易获得枪支的问题——丹佛无法独自做到这一点."
白宫新闻秘书郭佳欣·让-皮埃尔星期三对记者说，政府“同情今天在丹佛的两名学校管理人员的家庭以及整个学校社区”
让-皮埃尔指出，乔·拜登总统上周公布了另一项旨在解决枪支暴力的行政措施，但“正如总统在国情咨文中所说，国会需要做些什么。”
这起枪击事件发生在大规模枪击事件后两年科罗拉多州博尔德市的金·苏珀斯杂货店夺去了10条生命。
Student who was patted down each day allegedly shoots 2 staffers at Denver high school
A student who was under a "certain agreement to be patted down each day" at school allegedly shot and wounded two school administrators at East High School in Denver, authorities said.
The suspect, 17-year-old Austin Lyle, fled the school after the Wednesday morning shooting and a search for him is ongoing, Denver police said. His car was located in Park County, which is located southwest of Denver, and "efforts to locate the suspect are ongoing," police said Wednesday evening.
A male body has been found near the suspect's vehicle, Park County Sheriff Tom McGraw later said during a press conference. The scene is being processed and the coroner was en route to the scene, McGraw said.
The handgun used in the shooting has not been recovered, and police warned the public to not approach Lyle, calling him armed and dangerous. Lyle, who is wanted for attempted homicide, may be driving a 2005 red Volvo XC90 with Colorado license plate BSCW10, police said.
The faculty members were both hospitalized following the shooting. They have been identified by the school district as Eric Sinclair, who remains in serious condition, and Jerald Mason, who was upgraded from serious to good condition. Mason has since been released from the hospital, Denver Health said.
The suspected shooter was required to be searched at the beginning of each school day, officials said. He allegedly shot the school administrators as they patted him down Wednesday morning in the school's office area, which officials said is away from other students and staff.
The suspect's daily searches were part of a "safety plan" that was a result of "previous behavior," officials said, though they did not elaborate on the previous behavior.
East High School was placed on lockdown in the wake of the shooting. Denver Public Schools later said it received clearance to start releasing students.
Last month, East High School students went to a city council meeting to call for action on school safety and gun violence after a 16-year-old student was fatally shot near the school,according to ABC Denver affiliate KMGH.
The superintendent said Wednesday that the school will be closed for the rest of this week, and that the building will now have two armed officers present through the end of the school year.
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock in a statement said removing school resource officers was a "mistake" and said they should be quickly returned.
"We all have to step up as a community and be a part of the solution," he said.
Hancock also called on Congress to pass "common sense" gun legislation.
"Parents are angry and frustrated, and they have a right to be," he said. "Easy access to guns must be addressed in our country -- Denver cannot do this alone."
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday that the administration's "hearts go out to the families of the two school administrators and in Denver today and to the entire school community."
Jean-Pierre noted that President Joe Biden unveiled another executive action aimed at tackling gun violence last week but that "as the president said in the State of the Union, Congress needs to do something."
This shooting comes two years to the day after a mass shooting at aKing Soopers grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, that claimed 10 lives.
