Teen School Shooter Realizes He's Been Captured

Why would two teenagers bring guns to school? The answers are chilling

In May 2019, a quiet school in Highlands Ranch, Colorado turned into a scene of terror when two students—Devon Erickson and Alec McKinney—entered the STEM School armed and ready to kill. Their classmates never saw it coming.

What led these two teenagers, one just 16 years old, to plan and execute a mass shooting in a place meant for learning and safety? In this episode, we explore the background of the shooters, the trauma of the survivors, and the heartbreaking loss of student Kendrick Castillo—who gave his life to stop the attack.

This is a chilling look at one of the most disturbing school shootings in recent American history, fueled by hate, mental illness, and hidden pain.
