\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"colschoolshoot12-13-13\"<\/a>CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) – A Colorado sheriff says a student who shot two others before apparently killing himself at a Denver-area high school is believed to have acted alone.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson says the shooter entered Arapahoe High School in Centennial on Friday armed with a shotgun and looking for a teacher he identified by name.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Robinson says the teacher immediately left the school when he learned the student was looking for him.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Robinson says the shooter then shot two students, one of whom is in serious condition at a hospital. The other is also hospitalized with a minor gunshot wound.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A suburban Denver student shot at least one other student at a high school Friday before he apparently killed himself, authorities said.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said the shooter entered Arapahoe High School in Centennial armed with a shotgun looking for a teacher he identified by name.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “The teacher began to understand that he was being looked at and exited the school. One student confronted the armed student and was shot,” Robinson said.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The critically injured student was in surgery at a nearby hospital, said Jason Dunkel, spokesman for Littleton Adventist Hospital.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A third student was injured at the school, but it wasn’t clear whether that student was shot.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Police were outside the school, and students were seen walking toward the school’s running track with their hands in the air. Television footage showed students being patted down.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The school is about 8 miles east of Columbine High School in Littleton, where two teenage shooters killed 12 classmates and a teacher before killing themselves in 1999.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The shooting also came a day before the first anniversary of the school massacre in Newtown, where a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tracy Monroe, who had step-siblings who attended Columbine, was standing outside the high school looking at her phone, reading text messages from her 15-year-old daughter inside.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Monroe said she got the first text from her daughter, sophomore Jade Stanton, at 12:41 p.m. The text read, “there’s sirens. It’s real. I love you”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A few minutes later, Jade texted “shots were fired in our school.” Monroe rushed to the school and was relieved when Jade texted that a police officer entered her classroom and that she was safe.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Monroe was family friends with a teacher killed in the Columbine shooting, Dave Carpenter.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “We didn’t think it could happen in Colorado then, either,” Monroe said.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 More than 2,100 students attend Arapahoe High School where nine out of 10 graduates go on to college, according to the Littleton Public Schools website.<\/p>\n
