In relation to the shooting at STEM School Highland Ranch, there is an interesting factor at play. To date, Colorado has notable gun control restrictions. These restrictions largely followed after the 2012 Sandy Hook attack and furthermore include background check mandates and the prohibition of high-capacity magazines.
Despite the aforementioned restrictions, the tragedy at STEM School Highland Ranch still occurred. Many conservative circles regard gun-free zones as ideal hunting grounds for psychopaths determined to cause harm.
It is with extreme sadness that we can confirm that 1 student at the STEM School was killed in today’s #stemshooting incident. The immediate family has been notified. Douglas County Coroner Jill Romann has not officially identified the student is stating it’s an 18 year old male.
