WATCH: Kamala Harris explains how she would keep schools safe from gun violence
One student is dead and 8 others injured after two suspects opened fire at the STEM school at Ridgeline and Plaza in Highlands Ranch, Colorado.
Both suspects are believed to be students at the school.
Details on the suspects are spare, but according to reports, one of the students is believed to be a transgender male (a biological female transitioning to male). The other suspect publicly hated Christians and Donald Trump.
On social media, Devon Erickson, a registered Democrat, expressed hatred for some Christians, and shared posts criticizing Donald Trump and praising Barack Obama, which you can see later in this article.
“You know what I hate? All these Christians who hate gays, yet in the bible, it says in Deuteronomy 17:12-13, if someone doesn’t do what their priest tells them to do, they are supposed to die. It has plenty of crazy stuff like that,” he wrote in one Facebook post a couple years ago. “But all they get out of it is ‘ewwwwww gays.’” In 2015, Erickson put a celebrate pride filter onto a Facebook picture.
Here’s the latest press conference. They’re expected to give another update at 2 pm.
