According to the Aurora police on social media, the shooting in Colorado has injured five teenagers aged between 14 and 17 years old. They are currently receiving medical care at a local hospital. The incident occurred in Nome Park, near the town’s Central High School.

In its first message on Twitter at 13:15 local time (20:15 GMT), police warned of the ‘shooting with multiple injuries and confirmed that the suspect, of whom no description was given, was no longer at the scene’.

Security forces later confirmed that “five youths had been taken to hospital and a security perimeter was set up around the park and high school”.
