A student shot two of his peers Wednesday at a suburban Denver high school before shooting himself and later dying, authorities said. The handgun shooting was reported around 12:30 p.m. at Evergreen High School in Evergreen, Colorado, about 30 miles west of Denver. The teens were originally listed in critical condition, St. Anthony CEO Kevin Cullinan said. Their ages were not released. By early evening, one teen was in stable condition with what Dr. Brian Blackwood, the hospital’s trauma director, described as non-life threatening injuries. He declined to provide more details.

False reports of active shooters have led to panic and temporary lockdowns at Villanova University and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. In Pennsylvania someone called 911 at about 4:30 p.m. reporting an active shooter in a Villanova law school building with at least one wounded victim. But the school's president later said it was a “cruel hoax.” In Chattanooga the unfounded report came in about four hours earlier. Students were told there was a possible active shooter in the university center or library.  A lockdown was lifted less than an hour later, and school officials said there was no evidence of any threat.
