2006 hostage crisis
On September 27, 2006, a "hostage situation" was reported at 11:40 a.m. local time (1740 UTC) at the high school. Duane Roger Morrison, 53, of Denver, reportedly said that he had a bomb. Morrison took six female students as hostages in a second-floor room and released four of them while keeping the other two. Once SWAT members approached, one of the female hostages, identified as 16-year-old Emily Keyes, was shot and critically wounded. She was taken away by a helicopter, and was later declared dead from her injuries. Morrison then shot and killed himself. The other female was not wounded.
