Colorado STEM school students rushed gunman, helped disarm him

A U.S. Marine recruit and other teens rushed one of the shooters at a Colorado school, helping to disarm him, according to police and witnesses.

One of the students, Kendrick Castillo, 18, died while lunging at the shooter, according to a classmate at STEM School Highlands Ranch in a Denver suburb. Eight students were injured in the shooting Tuesday.

"We're going to hear about very heroic things that have taken place at the school," Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said Wednesday.

Two suspects, both students, are in custody — Devon Erickson, 18, and a juvenile.

It's so heartbreaking to think that five minutes earlier he was just sitting in class... then when circumstances required him to be a hero, he stepped up.
