At least four students were injured in a shooting at Evergreen High School in Evergreen, Colorado, on Wednesday afternoon, according to reports.

Three students were in critical condition and being transported to St. Anthony’s Hospital, a hospital spokesperson confirmed to ABC News. A fourth student has also been transported to the hospital, but with an unknown injury, the outlet reported.

Investigators believe that the suspected shooter is among the injured people, ABC News reported. The shooting was first reported at 12:34 p.m. on Wednesday, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Jacki Kelley told 9News.

“I don’t know if our suspect is even old enough to drive,” Kelley said, ABC News reported.

Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement posted to X Wednesday afternoon that he is “closely monitoring” the situation at Evergreen High School, adding that “we are all praying for the victims and the entire community.”

“I am closely monitoring the situation at Evergreen High School, and am getting live updates,” Polis wrote in the social media post. “State Troopers are supporting local law enforcement in responding to this situation. Students should be able to attend school safely and without fear across our state and nation. We are all praying for the victims and the entire community.”

Additionally, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel said in an X post that he is “aware of the tragic situation unfolding near Denver.”

“We’re aware of the tragic situation unfolding near Denver,” Patel wrote. “The FBI is on scene and in full support of local authorities to ensure everyone’s safety.”

“We think they’re all students. We don’t know the condition of any of them,” a spokesperson for Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office told the Colorado Sun.

The news comes just two weeks after a trans-identifying male opened fire on children at a Catholic school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Aug. 27.
