Multiple students were injured including three in critical condition, after a shooting at a high school in Evergreen, Colorado, on Wednesday afternoon, according to authorities.
The shooter, who was injured by a self-inflicted gunshot wound, is a student at the school, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said in an update Wednesday. The student was armed with revolver handgun, the sheriff's office said.
Three students were in critical condition after being taken to St. Anthony Hospital, a hospital spokesperson confirmed to ABC News. A fourth student was also transported to the hospital, but with an unknown injury, authorities said.
Officials said they received the first report of a shooting at the school at approximately 12:24 p.m. local time.
"This is the scariest thing you'd think could ever happen," said sheriff's office spokesperson Jacki Kelley said at an earlier news conference.
After the shooting, the school was placed in a lockdown and officials swept the campus.
Kelley said she could not provide any other details about the suspected shooter, including the suspect's age or gender.
"I don't know if our suspect is even old enough to drive," Kelley said.
She said authorities were seeking a warrant for the student's home and locker.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also responded to the scene.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the FBI was "aware on the tragic situation unfolding near Denver," with officials providing "full support of local authorities to ensure everyone's safety."
After the shooting, hundreds of police officers were on the scene searching each room on campus, according to law enforcement.
Parents were being asked to reunite with students at Bergen Meadow Elementary.
