The student who opened fire Wednesday at Evergreen High School, injuring two other students, died Wednesday night of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said.

One student remained in critical condition, according to doctors, while another had non-life-threatening injuries.

The sheriff said the shooter was a 16-year-old male.

He had fired a revolver at students at 12:24 p.m. Wednesday, bringing scores of first responders to the school.

Three students — including the shooter — were treated at CommonSpirit St. Anthony Hospital for gunshot wounds. A fourth student took themselves to the hospital with injuries sustained while escaping the high school and fleeing to a nearby elementary school.
