The shooting occurred in Nome Park, which is near the Aurora Central High School. The high school was initially reported to be on a lockdown, but that was updated to reflect the school was on a “secure perimeter.”
Police Chief Vanessa Wilson confirmed that all of the injured teens were Aurora Central High School students.
Shell casings from multiple guns were found at the scene. Eyewitnesses described multiple suspicious vehicles in the vicinity. The department’s Gang Unit was brought in to investigate the incident.
“My understanding is it was a drive-by shooting, as well as there may have been people on foot,” she said.
Wilson said that no suspects had been arrested as of yet.
