17-year-old boy opens fire at school in Denver, wounds two faculty members

<p>A 17-year-old student from the East High School in Denver who was accused of shooting and wounding two faculty members was found dead near his vehicle in Park County. In a Facebook post, the Park County Coroners Office confirmed that the body belonged to Austin Lyle, who shot faculty members as they were patting him down for weapons as part of a "safety plan" devised for the youth based on previous behavioural issues.</p>

<p>Lyle had fled the scene immediately after Wednesday's shooting.&nbsp;"This particular student had a safety plan that was in place where they were to be searched at the beginning of the school day every day," Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas said during a press conference, according to a report by the news agency Reuters.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Thomas added that the two faculty members were taken to a hospital where one was listed in critical condition and undergoing surgery, and the other was in serious but stable condition.&nbsp;</p>
