Austin Lyle, 17, had shot and wounded faculty members as they were patting him down for weapons as part of a 'safety plan' devised for the youth based on previous behavioral issues. Teen accused in Denver school shooting found dead:
DENVER -The student who was accused of shooting and wounding two faculty members at his Denver high school has been found dead near his vehicle in Park County.
The East High School student fled the shooting scene on foot immediately after Wednesday's violence, which unfolded just before 10 a.m. local time . "This particular student had a safety plan that was in place where they were to be searched at the beginning of the school day every day," Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas told reporters during a news conference earlier.
The dean of the school and other staff members were conducting the search when several shots were fired, and the student fled, apparently still armed with the handgun used in the attack.
