COLORADO BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION 2013-269/1

SYNOPSIS: On Friday, December 13, 2013, at approximately 2:4Spm, I, Colorado Bureau of Jnvestigation (CBI) Agent TAMMY LEE, was asked to respond to the Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colorado, to assist the Arapahoe County Sherifrs Office (ACSO) with a school shooting incident. At approximately 8:00pm, l was assigned to Crime Scene Team #2, which was tasked with photographing, diagramming, and locating possible evidence in a designated portion of the Library Media Center inside the school.

ACTION TAKEN: On Friday, December l 3 ~ 20 l 3, at approximately 2:45pm, l, Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Agent TAMMY LEE, was asked to respond to the Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colorado, to

assist the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office (ACSO) with a school shooting incident. I responded to the command post next to Chase Bank, which was located directly across the street from the Arapahoe

High School. Upon arrival , I was briefed about the investigation.

At approximately 8:00pm, I was assigned to Crime Scene Team #2, which was tasked with photographing, diagramming, and locating possible evidence in a designated portion of the Library Media Center. Members of crime scene team #2 also included: Criminalist ERICK BRYANT (ACSO), Agent JERRY MEANS (CBI Denver), Agent KELLON HASSENSTAB (CBI Denver), Laboratory

Agent KEVrN TORRES (CBI Pueblo), Laboratory Agent JENNIFER DAHLBERG (CBI Denver), and

Laboratory Agent-in-Charge BARRY SHEARER (CBI Denver).

At approximately 8:56pm, Crime Scene Team #2 entered the Library Media Center. My duties inside the Library included diagramming/sketching an area of the Library with Agent MEANS and Laboratory

Agent DAHLBERG, which included the front counter area, administrative offices, editing room, and test taking area. In addition, we were asked to diagram/sketch the hallway immediately outside the main doors of the Library.

At approximately 12:00am (Saturday, December 14, 2013), Crime Scene Team #2 completed the diagram/sketch, photographs, and immediate evidence location.

Please see attached Library Media Center diagrams (not to scale).

At the southeast of the entry counter, a pattern of shot pellet strikes was observed on the top of the counter. A trash can that was nearly the height of the top of the counter was adjacent to the top of the desk at the east. The liner on the east of the trash can also appeared to have apparent shot pellet strikes. Following that apparent trajectory, l observed two book carts on the south wall off the media storage area. The northern (of the two) book carts appeared to have shot pellet strikes near its top, west facing portion.

South of the entry counter and east of the Editing Room, was an area that contained private desk work stations. The desk work stations did not have any computers or electronics, except for personally owned items that had been left behind. The desk work station portion of the room had a dividing wall on the north end that separated that area from the media storage/work area, and was open at the northwest (near the entry counter area). To the west of the desk work station area was the adjoining wall with the Editing Room.

There was a south and west wall in the desk work station area. A blue AT&T cell phone was located in the middle row of desks, and initially marked as evidence marker 2-5. A white iPhone was on a desk located along the south wall of the room, and marked as evidence marker 2-6. Those items were later not collected as evidence, per ACSO. Various backpacks, books and personal belongings were located on several desks. At the norch wall, on the far western comer, a spent shotgun shell was located and marked as evidence marker 2-4.

North of the desk work stations and east of the entry counter, was a media storage area. That area contained bookcases on the south wall and east wall, which had text books, audio book and various media on them. A circular table was just north of the south wall, with two rectangular tables (Jong sides on the east/west) to the north of it. In the walking path from the entry counter to the media storage area, a suspected single shot pellet from a shotgun shell was marked as 2-7, and a box with suspected pellet holes was on the ground. The box was marked 2-8. An apparent portion of shotgun shell wadding was marked as evidence marker 2-3.

On the far north table in the media storage area, I observed uneaten food at the table, which included the remaining comer of a sandwich, yogurt, an open coca cola can, grapes, chips and an almond joy. It appeared that someone was possibly in the process of eating before being interrupted. To the immediate north and east of that seating area, I observed what appeared to be a shotgun pellet pattern on the east wall. To the south and east of that panern, and east of the table, two items wtre mar"ed as 2-12 and 2-13, which appeared to be part of the wadding from a fired shotgun shell. To the south of the shotgun pellet pattern, I observed what appeared to be outlying shot pellet strikes in the top of the bookcase area. Portions of the west side of the table in the middle of the room also had what appeared to be possible shot pellet strikes.

To the north of the table seating area was an entrance to another, smaller office, which was the Instructional Coach's Office. That office did not appear to contain any items of apparent evidcntiary note. It did have a door along the north wall that went into the greater Library/Media Center, and was near an exit door from the greater library area to the exterior at the east.

COLOAADO BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION 2013-269/2

To the wc.."St of the media storage seating area, J observed what appellrcd to be a staff work/kitchenette nrca, which included staff work space, various elccrronics, sink, refrigerator, cabinets, printers, and a fox machine. West of the cabinets a\ong the nvnh waU, beyond a wall, was a desk. Thal cksk, bastd on written ittms, appeared to belong to a staff member named TRACY MURPHY, \.vho I l11ter learned, was a target of the suspect. There was a black Motorola v~rizon cell phone on the desk, which was marked as evidence marker 2-10. Another staff work desk was south of MURPHY's desk, which appeilred to belong to KARLA BRACHTENOACH, based on paperwork on the desk.

South of the hallway doors of the library, n hallway ex.tended north and south. That hallway contained locker ... which t was infonned belonged to the suspect. That locker was also near a "T" junction wiLh an east/west hallway. I was present while photographs were taken of the locker, which was open, and consisted primarily of school books and school materials.

To the west of\hc hallway doors of the library, ar the extreme southwest end of the haHway, f observed a spent shotgun shell, which wa~ marked as cvidenc~ market 2-15.

Note: Please refer to scene photos, diagrams and inlagc scans for full details of the assigned area. The above-description is not a11-inclusivc.

At approximately 9: I 0 p.m., our team's processing of the assigned area began. I assisted by creating a photo log as TORRES began toking digital photos of the s1.:cnc. He took photos of the scene, which included evidence identified at markers 2-1 through 2- I 5 (Note: not all initially identified evidence was ullima1cly collected). 111e scene processing lasted until approximately t I :55 p.m., when we were advised to discontinue until the next day. I later sent a typed photo log to Agent TORRf.S for his review and completion

I arrived at Arapahoe High School at approximately 9:30 a.m., on Saturday, Oecembcr 14, 2013, for further investigation. I was later assigned to take digital photographs within various areas of the school, which were apparently uninvolved in the shooting incident. I was requested to take an exterior (door) photo, as well as an interior view photo of each classroom/area.

I took digital photographs of classrooms C-1, S-1 , S-2. S-3, the DECA offices and store, and several rooms within the business office. Additionally, I took classroom photos qf the first noor and second floor portions of the science wing or lhc school, which included classrooms W-101 , W-102, W-103, W-104. W-105, W-106, W-107, W-201 , W-202, W-203, W-204, W-205, W-206, W-207 and the first floor s1:iencc oftii.:~ and science work room. 1 also took photos of the unmarked storage area under the l st floor science area.

I collected photographs of the main gym (W-111), au1'iliary gym, study center, weight room (W·l 12). women's coaches PE office, training room, trainer's office, men's cottchcs office, fitness room (W-119), pool, pool entrance, girl's locker, hoy's locktr roum, upper gym (W-108), and sever.d unmarked storage areas within the western win& of the school, which consisted primarily of athletic fac i liti~s, classrooms and otlices.

After taking the photographs, I utilized the compact disc burner on scene to create an "original" cvidcn1iary compact disc of the images, which I provided to BR Y A~T with my business card.

HASSENSTAB, KELLON (GAMING I Colorado Bureau of Investigation) 12/l612013 Page 3



At approximately 4:00 p.m ., I cleared Arapahoe High School as there was no additional assignments

necessary. This report concludes my involvement in the scene investigation, and should be forwarded to the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office.

It should also be noted that connecting case reports include CBI Forensic Services 013-2756 and ACSO CTIJ-44545.

Nothing further.

SYNOPSIS: On Friday, December 13, 2013, I (Agent KELLON HASSENSTAB of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation) responded to Arapahoe High School in reference to a shooting that occurred at that location. This report documents my assistance with the crime scene processing on December 13, 2013 and December 14, 2013.

ACTION TAKEN: On Friday, December 13, 2013, at approximately 2:30 p.m, I was off-duty and contacted via telephone by Colorado Bureau of Investigation ("CBI") Agent-in-Charge ("AIC") CHRJS ANDRIST regarding a shooting that occurred at Arapahoe High School (220 I E. Dry Creek Road, Centennial, Colorado.). AlC ANDRIST advised that CBI Denver Investigations Agents were directed to respond to the Chase Bank parking Jot at E. Dry Creek Road and S. University Blvd., I arrived at that location at approximately 3:45 p.m.

At approximately 5:30 p.m., I entered Arapahoe High School with other assigned investigators, and went to the 1.:afeteria within the school to await further assignment. ·

At approximately 7:50 p.m., I was assigned to work with one of the crime scene teams in processing the shooting scene, which was identified as Team 2. The leader of Team 2 was ERICK BRYANT, a Criminalist with Arapahoe County Sheriffs Office ("ACSO"). The rest of the team consisted of CBI field and lab agents TAMMY LEE, JENNIFER DAHLBERG, JERRY MEANS; KEVfN TORRES and BARRY SHEARER. At approximately 8:50 p.m., BRYANT conducted a "walk-through" of the crime scene for Team 2 to identify the scope of our assigned area within the context of the investigation. Our team was assigned to process the interior halfway outside of the library, as well as the southeast portion of the Library/Media Center. My initial assignm<'nt on the team was to be a scribe.

BRYANT requested that I complete a description of the scene that was assigned to Team 2. The following are my observations of the area, which is non-inclusive of the entirety of the area:

To the east of outside of the hallway entry doors of the Library/Media Center there was what appeared to be a cloth (evidence marker 2-14) on the ground. Upon entering the library, there are three 3M magnetic media/book scanners. Beyond the media/book scanners, the assigned area to team 2 was generally to the east, southeast and northeast, extending north to a wall that enclosed the media storage, desk areas, and staff areas beyond the entry counter area.

To the east beyond the entry scanners, was a generally semi-drcle shaped semi-enclosed library entry counter with a chair and computer at its north end. On the interior side of the library entry counter, I observed a shattered water bottle, noted as evidence marker 2-9. There was what appeared to be broken plastic from the water bottle to the east of the counter. To the west of the counter, a dime on the ground was noted at evidence marker 2-1 . Just south of the east portion of the entry counter, an apparent spent shotgun shell casing was observed and noted as evidence marker 2-2.

To the south of the entry desk, a small room was labeled as the "Editing Room." That room contained four computer systems (tower and monitor) and four chairs along the east wall. No apparent evidence was observed in that room, which extended to the south wall of the Library/Media Center.

COLORADO BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION 20'\3-26913

SYNOPSIS: On IJecember 18, 2013, Agent MARK HOUGES and 1 spoke with student -

et the Shepard of the Hills <'hurch near Arnpahoe High School. - had witnessed an incident involving KARL PIERSON on Dec1:mber l l, 2013 in Ms. LOMBARDI'S classroom, • During that incident, PIERSON got very angry with the teacher and students because he was accidentally tocked out of the class. After the incide.nt, - discussed PIERSON'S outburst and his concerns for his safety because PlERSON seemed like the type of person who could bring a gun to school .

ACTION TAK.EN: On l)ccem~r 18, 2013, Agent MARK HODGES and I were assisting the Arapahoe County Sheriff's office with their investigation into the shooting at Arapahoe High School. We were asked to respond to the Shepard of the Hills church· near Arapahoe High School to interview a student who had been speaking with a counselor and had infonnation he wnntcd to report lO law enforcement.

We verbally identified ourselves to tht' student, - - and his mother, who was not identified. We spoke with - in the sanctuary at the church. His mother ~id it was ok for us to spc:ak wj1h him without her being present.

- said he and the suspect, KARL PIERSON, are in Ms. LOMBARDI'S classroom during period 5, which he said was classroom • On Wednesday, December 11, 2013, - was in Ms. LOMHAROl'S class and he locked the door to the hallway. Apparently the classroom doors are locked once the class starts . - said after he locked the doors, one of his other classmates told him that KARL was in the hall. KARL had gone in the hnll possibly to gel water for hi~ water bonle. - said something about playing it off as a joke then. - said when KARL returned to the classroom door, he shook the hnnc.lle and when nobody open it right away, he began pounding on the door and yelling. He said KARL'S face was red . When somebody opened the door for KARL, Ms. LOMBARDI asked him why he didn't just knock. KARL was yelling, "You locked me oul, what is this" and other things. He said KARL'S face was very red and he was making a fist. Since KARL was acting so strangely and seemed way too angry for simply being locked out, Ms. LOMBARDI asked KARL if he was serious. KARL told her he was serious like a heart anack and continued to be upset. Ms. LOMBARDI asked KARL lo please wait in the hall and she would t;ilk to him there. As KARL len the classroom, he said lo 1he class, "Fuck you all." - said that was the last thing KARL said lo the class.

KARL did not come back lo the class and one of the assistant principals, Mr. KOLl\SO. came to the classroom to talk with Ms. LOMBARDl. - said they talked in the hall. Since Ms. LOMBARD( did not know it was - who locked the door, after class - told her he was the one who locked the door. I le said Ms. LOMBARDI told him not to worry about it and !\he had taken rcsponsibilicy to Mr. KOLASO for locking the door.

- said after class, he talked to some ~tudcnts, and -- about the incident with KARL - was not in the class on Wednesday so - told him :ibout the incident. He satd he specifically told them that KARL was scary and - was concerned that KAIU. could hurt them. He told them he thought KARL was the type of p~rson who could bring a gun to school. I le exchang~d texts with - around 6:00 PM on

SY1'0PSIS:

Between Friday, December 13. 2013, and Friday, December 20, 2013, ColorJdo Bureau of Investigation agents assisted Arc1.pahoe Shcrifrs Department investigators wilh their criminal investigation of the Arapahoe High School shooting that transpired at I :33 PM on Friday, December

13, 2013.

ACTIO~ TAKEN:

On Friday, December 13, 2013, al approximately 2:00 PM, I learned that there had been a shooting at the Arapahoe High School, located at 2201 East Ory Creek Road, Centennial, Arnpaho~ County, Colorado 80122. initial re pons indicated that the gunman had inj urcd at least one stud em prior to taking his own life. On Friday, December 13, 2013, at approximately 2:30 PM, J received a call from Colorado Bureau of lnvestigarion (CBJ) Agen<·in- Charge (AJC) CHRIS ANDRJST, requesting lhat I respond to Arapahoe High School to assist the Arapahoe Sherifrs Department with their investigation.

I arrived on scene at approximntcly 4:00 PM and stood by at the Arapahoe Sheriff's Department mobile command post, while the school was secured by police tactical teams. Once the school was decfared secure, I assisted with the creation of the initial crime scene log and subsequently turned over a hand writlen crime scene log to Arapahoe Sherifrs Dcpanment invesligators. I then stood by for further assignment until I was ultimately released by Arapahoe Shcritl's staff at approximately 9:30 PM on Friday, December 13, 2013.

On Tuesday, December 17, 2013, nt 3:00 PM, I responded to the Aropahoe Sheriffs Department headquarters and participated in an investigation update briefi~g. During the briefing l lcamec.J that Arapahoe Sheriffs investigators believed the decea~d su,.pect in the Arapahoe High School shooting, KARL PIERSON, specifically targeted the and possibly at the school. tnvcstigators indicated that PIERSON had written on his forearm and

advised that th~ where he committed suicide had been . Arapahoe Sheriffs Department command staff then requested assistance from lhc Colorado Bureau of lnvcsligation (CBI) and the Feder.ti Bureau of fnvcstigalion (FBI) regarding interviewing possible witn~sses.

On Wednes<fay, December 18, 2013, at 7:30 AM, I responded to Arupahoe High School and

participated in a briefing led by Arapahoe Sheriffs Department investigators. During the briefing I learned that the Arapahoe High School teaching and adminiscrative staff were scheduled to meet at the school between 9:00 A~ and I :00 PM. I also learned that school officinls and teaching staff were

upset that law enforcement personnel were on scene at the school.

NORDGREN, COLLIN (GAMING I Colorado Bureau of tnvestigattoo) 12126/2013 Page 1


COLORADO BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION 2013-269/2'4

After the initial briefing, it was detcnnined that law enforcement personnel would no1 actively contact school staff. Instead, law enforcement personnel were asked to stand by in the school auditorium and

the school staff were reportedly asked to check in with law enforcement prior to leaving for the day. I then stood by in lhe auditorium from 9:00 AM until approximately 1 :30 PM. However, during that time not one Arapahoe High School staff member attempted to contact law enforcement and investigators ultimately left the school without conducting any staff interviews.

On Thursdny, December 19, 2013, at 7:30 AM, I again responded to Arapahoe High School and participated in a briefing led by Arapahoe Sheriff's Dcpanment investigators. During the briefing I

learned that U1e junior and senior classes of Arapahoe High School were scheduled to return to the school bclween 9:00 AM and I :00 PM, to m1.:e1 with their teachers and g:ither pt:rsona1 btlongings. J also learned tl111t law enforcement personnel wuuld be deployed to that corrcspanded

The following is the texc from the email: (A copy of the email is affached to this report .)

Hello there, My name: is .. _ I go to AHS, and was in on the day of the: shooting. You gave me your card the day we were let back into the bui I ding an<l said contact you if 1 could think of anything else about Karl. Karl and I had conversed about the US Service academks and was the only main interaction we had. He was always really argumentative nnd always was rude when it came to talking about my applications (i .e. telling me how there was no chance I could get in). Well l realized after the fact that Congressman Coffman had released his list of nominated students before the shooting, but i was mistakenly told 1 had nor been nominated.

UENEMANN hnd asked to speak with an investigator since he had not been interviewed yet. We conducted the interview in an office at Arapahoe High School.

LIENEMAN>l said he was in his classroom, S J4, when he heard the gun shots. He explained that his classroom is just down the haJlway from where the first shots were fired and \\-'here CLAIRE DA VIS W(lS shot. He said he looked out into the hallway ond saw a kid, who he identified as yelling, "Someone's been shot" and saw .. tum righl and he was running away from where CLAIRE had l>ccn shot. LIENEMANN said he never saw the shooter. He saw CLAIRE laying in rhe hallway but he didn't know who it was at that time. He said CLAIRE had been one of his srudents in his classroom in the period prior to the shooting. He also saw smoke or dust in the air. One of the PE teachers, BRAD JANSEN, \\/'JS also in the hall and the two made eye contact. LIENEMANN then heard the third gunshot and that was when he jumped back into his classroom, lotkcd \he door and turned off the lights. LIENEMANN felt debris Jand on his head afler the third shot which hi: thought was ceiling tile pieces.

Once he was locked down, he thought about CLAIRE layin~ in the hallway and he then went back into the hallway and started heading down che hallway toward CLAIRE. As he was moving down the hall, he saw the two campus security employees CAMERON RUST and KRISTrNA running down one of the hallways. As he continued down the hall, he saw the school resource officer, Depuly ENGLERT, look around the comer. Deputy ENGLERT shouted, "Where is he!" and he told him he didn't know. He saw Deputy ENGLERT near CLAfRE so LIENEMANN went back to his classroom. He thought that maybe Deputy ENGLERT told him to get back into his classroom as welJ.

LIENEMANN went back into the classroom and sat with his students quietly. They heard the police ofliccrs responding and they were asking whei"e the library was. I Jc heard ROD MULLEK with campus security telling the responding officers where to go as they arrived.

ACTION TAKEN: On Wednesday, December 18, 2013, at approximately 7:45am, I, Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Agent TAMMY LEE, arrived at Arapahoe High School {AHS), which was located at 2201 East Dry Creek Road in Centennial, Colorado. The purpose of responding to AHS was to assist with interviewing the school staff who possibly had infom1ation regarding the recent school shooting. Upon :irrival, law enforcement members from the CBI, Federal Bureau of Jnvescigation (FBI), and Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office (ACSO) were notified that the teaching and administrative staff had planned to meet at the school from 9:00am until I :OOpm. It was also made evident through the school board members present at the high school that they were very upset law enforcement was present to speak with staff as they had not been notified we were going to be there.

It was later determined by the school board that law enforcement should not be in the hallways or cafeteria of the school, but rather in the theatre/auditorium of the school. We were informed the school administrators would tell the school staff to ''touch base" with law enforcement in the theatre/auditorium if they wanted to.

It should be noted that no members of the teaching staff or administrators came to the

theatre/auditorium that day to be interviewed. At approximately I :30pm, Jaw enforcement officers left the school.

I arrived on scene and after several minutes was told pat downs had been completed and assistance was now needed getting the students from the athletic fields onto school buses that were staging at E. Ory Creek Rd. and S. Franklin St. I, along with other law enforcement personnel from numerous agencies, escorted the students from the athletic fields to the buses. After the evaculiltion was complete and all students were loaded onto buses. an ACSO deputy advised me help was needed at Isaac Newton Middle School for traffic control. I responded to the middle school at approximately 1530 hours, and assisted with traffic control while students from that school were being released to parents. I directed traffic until appro)(imately 1710 hours when I was released by an ACSO Deputy.

NARRATIVE:

On 12/13/2013, at approximately 1240 hours while on patrol at Chatfield State Park , Douglas County, CO, I, Officer B. Vinci was notified by Officers L. Wilder and L. Lujan that they had overhead traffic on Littleton Fire Rescue Dispatch that a fire and shooting had occurred at Arapahoe High School, at the corner of University Blvd. and Dry Creek Rd in Arapahoe County. I then called Colorado State Patrol Dispatch and asked if there was an active shooter at Arapahoe High School and If assistance was needed. The dispatcher was not aware of such, and advised me she would find out and call me on the radio. At approximately 1247 hours, I was advised via radio that such was the case and all avai lable units were asked to respond to the south side of the school immediately. Officers Lujan, Wilder, and I responded immediately with emergency lights and sirens each in our own patrol vehicles. We departed the park via Wadsworth Blvd, got on C-470 and proceeded East to University, where we exited on University and pulled into the shopping plaza south of the school at Dry Creek Rd. where we were advised by dispatch that incident command was setting up and wanted us to check In.

We arrived on scene at approximately 1259 hours. We parked in front of the Chipotle where we deployed long guns. Littleton Fire Rescue was on scene and directed us to a Douglas County Sheriff's Office lieutenant who stated he was attempting to locate unified command, which may have moved to the Chase Bank. We were asked to hold the South perimeter along Ory Creek, West of University. We then saw a crowd of students running out of the south west corner of the bui lding, across Dry Creek, and towards us. We were then asked by the Lieutenant to escort the student south of Dry Creek, behind the Starbucks. Lujan and Wilder stayed along Dry Creek while I led the students behind the shopping mall. As we reached the Southernmost end of the alley way, parents had already begun to arrive In the parking lot and were attempting to take their children home. I checked in with dispatch who advised me that Incident Command was asking that the students be taken to the King Soopers. Both students and parents were becoming aggressive and it was difficult to maintain order. I explained to the crowd that we could not release anyone until thev were accounted for so we could determine who was safelv out.


and who may still be in the school. This significantly calmed the crowd, though some parents became hysterical that there were still students In the school. I attempted numerous times to update dispatch of the path of the students, an~ to ask Lujan and Wilder for support at the south end of the alley, but received busy tones on my packset radio. Signal on my cell phone was spotty and I was unable to reach anyone with It. I then escorted the crowd to the King Soopers and placed students, teachers, and staff Inside, and kept parents in the parking lot.. I was then told by Dispatch that we were to take the students to the Shepherd of the Hiiis Church, south of the King Soopers. I was then told by a Littleton Fire Rescue Chief that King Soopers was a better location as It had food and water for the students, and that he did not want to move anyone. I advised him that IC was telling my dispatch to have me move them. He stated to wait untif he talked to his representative ilt IC. I was relieved by other units and was asked by Dispatch to check in at IC at the Chase Bank. Wilrlife Officer J . McKee arrived and asked where she was need. As she had no direct supervisor on scene, she stated she wou ld fall in under my chain of command. I asked her to assist with perimeter and transport to the church upon confirmation from IC that such was their order.

I then walked over to the Chase Bank and spoke with Law Enforcement Command. I was advised to fall tn with a CSP representative and brief him as to our units, locatlons, and assignments. I advised him that I had 4 units including myself and the others were assisting with getting students to the church. As we were dispatched through CSP lC and had only 4 units, I assumed command of CPW staff on scene and gave my Information to the lC coordinator, Trooper Dinkle to act as his primary point of contact with CPW staff. I was asked to assist with perimeter at the Burger King, McKee and Lujan were asked to assist with escorts on busses of students from the track to the church, Wilder was asked to stay at the church. Using a combination of cell phone and radio using Chatfield State Park Ops and Colorado State Patrol lC ops channels, I distributed assignments. I was unable to reach Wilder at this time. I then held the perimeter at the Burger King where interviews were taking place. After being Interviewed, students were released to their parents after signing out. Atter a while, the students with parents on scene were asked to stay for interview and release, students who saw something were asked to stay for interview, and all students who did not have parents on scene and did not see anything, were loaded onto a bus and transported to the Whitman Center at Euclid and Broadway.

At approximately 1454 hours, all students were cleared out of the Burger King area having been interviewed and released or transported. I returned to Dlnkle for assignment. I then met up with Wildlife Investigator E. Harper, who also had no direct supervisor on scene and offered to fall in under established CPW command. We were asked to go the church to help with reuniting parents and students, McKee and Luajn to continue to assist with transpcrts, and Wilder was already at the church.

I then stO.Pped at my vehicle and secured my rifle. While walking to the church, we overheard traffic that units at King Soopers were not releasing student to be moved to the church and IC had asked that they be escorted to the church. We offered to stop in and relay IC's instructions to the King Soopers units, but were advised that contact was made and we should continue to the church .

We arrived at the church and were asked to secure the back door to the Sanctuary. We then had to locate restroom facilities for parents waiting in line outside for their children. We located the church elder and asked him if he had anything available. The nursery was a separate building and would work well, but was still In lock-down until 2 more parents came to pick up their children. Once the ch ildren were picked up, we opened the building for use by parents as a restroom and to keep warm. Upon completion of transport duty, Lujan and McKee arrived at the church to assist. We then assisted with perimeter and reuniting parents with children until we were cleared by dispatch at approximately 1700.

I called Dinkle, who confirmed that we were clear to depart upon signing out. I check In with the DCSO Lieutenant, who advised me that we needed to check out at IC at Chase Bank and get an email to forward all reports. An ACSO unit asked me to sign out on their list of all units who assisted at the church. Lujan, Wilder, Harper, McKee, and I all signed out, then cleared and went back to Chase where we signed out with ACSO at their mobile command post trailer and received an email address to forward all reports.

At approximately 1748 we cleared the scene to return to the park.

On 12/17/2013, I received an email containing the reports from E. Harper and J. McKee referencing Wlldllfe case #: .933-25-2013.

NARRATIVE:

On December 13, 2013, while on duty at Chatfielo State Part<, Douglas County Colorado, I , Officer L. Wilder, hearef a tone from Littleton Fire Rescue and the dispatch called for many units to respond to Arapahoe High School for a possible structure fire as well as " shots tlred", at approximately 1240 hours. Once he was made aware of the call, Officer B. Vinci called Colorado State Patrol (CSP) Dispatch and Informed them of the call we had heard, and asked If they needed us to respond . At this t ime, Do:Jglas County was calling for " any available unit" to resp<md. CSP aired to one of their officers that Parks Officers informed theri of the Active Shooter situation, which made It seem as though they hadn't been made aware of the situation until we called them. The CSP dispatcher said they did need for us to respond . Ofc. Vinci, Officer L. LuJan and 1 all proceeded to Arapahoe High School emergent, each In our own patrol unit wit h emergency ll9hts and sirens activated. l had several vehicles fail to yield while I was t raveling emergent on C470 east bound and I lost v isual of Ofc. Vinci and Ofc. Lujan who were In front of me. l arrived en scene at approximately 1306 hours at the south end of the school and staged at the north entrance to the King Soopers shopping center. I safely deployed my patrol shotgun since it was still unknown as to whether or not there was a present and Imminent threat. I met with Ofc. Vinci and a Douglas County Lieutenant who was the Incident commander (IC) of that area. We were asked to assist with holding the perimeter by the JC.

Shortly after our arrival a large group of approximately 100 students came out or t he south west side of the school buildlng and ran to our locat ion. ore. Vinci and I grouped them behird a FedEx truck which was parked behind the~ in the center where we were staged. Almost lmmed?ately a young man, - · 008--ph : , approached me and stated he had seen the shooter. He described :he shooter wearing a black ski mask carrying a black shotgun ... stated he heard a shot fired in what he believed to be a generic direct ion and heard the pellets hit somewhere to ~ht of him. He sa id he then pushed the kids t ie was with Into a classroom and locked the door. - also believed he heard two more shots fired, and sometime after that he and the group of kids he was with came out of the building. I Informed Ofc. Vinci of the information I had received from the witness and ensured that .. was made known to the Lt. who was IC for the area .

The kids were then moved further up the alley behind the shoppi'lg center where we worked to keep them all together and secure them, allowing no one to go Into or out of the group who shouldn°t. I was approached by school officials at this time who were telling me and the IC about the person they believed to be ttie suspect. The school officials were a counselor and an assistant principal. They stated the suspect, named to me as Carl Pierson, had made a threat to the librarian a month prior and that a police report had been made and a threat assessment completed . During part of this t ime the IC was monitoring his radio and was unable to listen to what was being sa id by the school offlctals. I asked them If they had access to the attendance log for the day and if they thought they could get that information for us. I went with them to an Optics business in the shopping center where they attempted to gain access to the needed records but had difficulty in doing so because t 'ie Internet servers were running


very slowly.

During this time I lost visual and radio contact with Officers Vinci and Lujan and was unable to reach them. I did give CSP my location. I continued to liaise with the school officials as well as answer citizen questions and direct students to the area where they were being held, and gave direction to parents.

Again, 'during this time I could not reach Ofc. Vinci '.:o obtain information as to his location or what he needed me to be doing . I did not have a cell phone with which to call him so I stayed with what I was doing.

for most of this time there had been another Douglas County unit in the area who had a direct channel to the main Command Center and I did my best to stay in contact and close proximity with him. It occurred to me that it was likely the main IC at the Command Center would be working on a roster of students in attendance for the day to be given to the locations where the students would be taken. I did not want to waste time duplicating this task if it was already being done. I met with the Douglas County unit mentioned above and asked If he could determine whether or not this job was being done. He did not make a call on the radio but stated that the Command Center already had the information. I then informed the school officials they no longer needed to worry about thts assignment and could go be with the students to offer support.

I was then able to gain contact with Ofc. Vinci who stated they needed help at the Shepherd of the Hills Church south of the King Soopers where parents were being directed and students were taken. I realized I would be working primarily with parents and students at a location away from the school and I felt it was appropriate to mount my shotgun back in its rack in my patrol vehicle before going to the church.

At the church, students were being held In the gym and a loose system of notebook paper and hand written student names were being utilized to attempt to account for students and check them out safely to their parents. To my knowledge, there had been no actual digital or hard copy roster of any students given to the teachers and officers working to reunite students with their parents at the church . While there I held the line of parents In order and gave direction and updates as they spottily came to me while I monitored CSP and Douglas County's channels .

I maintained contact and coordination with the Douglas County officer with whom 1 had previously been working and helped him keep things as organized as possible. There was a lot of changing and disorganized information being disseminated as to where students were, where they were going, and where parents should or should not go to be reunited with them. I was never able to gain successful or consistent communication with my supervisor or Ofc. Lujan during the event and thus stayed in communication with the Douglas County officer to provide assistance.

Once the line of parents outside was lessening I was utilized inside the church to secure two sets of external doors with Ofc. Lujan. Shortly after this time we were Informed by CSP that we were clear to depart the scene. I met with Officers Vinci, McKee, Lujan and Harper and we signed out from the church and signed out with the main Command Center near the Chase Bank on the northeast corner of Dry Creek and University.

Ofc. Lujan and I were back in service at the park at approximately 1815 hours.

NARRATIVE:


On Friday, December 13, 2013 at approximately 1240 hours, I, Officer L. Lujan, while on duty at Chatfield State Park in Douglas County, Colorado, overheard a medical tone through the radio stating there was a fire and a shooting at Arapahoe High School. Officer Wilder and I listened as we Informed Officer Vinci of the Incident. He immediately contacted Colorado State Patrol dispatch and informed them about the event. At approximately 1247 hours, we were asked to be enroute to create a perimeter around part of the school. Officer Vinci, Wilder, and I drove In separate patrol vehicles to the school with emergency fights and sirens. I followed behind Officer Vinci and Officer Wilder was behind me. We arrived approximately 1259 hours and drove into the shopping center located S. University Blvd and E. Ory Creek Road Centennial, Colorado. We parked our patrol cars between the businesses of Chipotle, Wells Fargo bank, and Starbucks. A perimeter of yellow police line was already created before we arrived. Once at the scene, I safely deployed my AR-15 long gun and ammunition bag because of the possible unknown threat still at the scene. A few bystanders were gathering around the perimeter at th is time. I followed Officer Vinci to an area where several agencies were gathering to ask where we were needed. The Incident Commander (IC) In this area told us to secure the nearest road ( E. Dry Creek Road). After a few minutes, we saw students running toward our location. As the students came out of the school, we signaled to them to cross E. Dry Creek Road, In front of the Starbucks business. Officer Vinci and Officer Wilder helped to gather the students and bring them to the back of Starbucks (into the alley) and behind a FedEx truck for cover. I was asked to keep the shopping center perimeter clear of bystanders while the students were coming out of the school. Many bystanders were parents waiting for their children, so th is became complicated with trying to keep them at bay. With so many agencies participating In this Incident, it soon became difficult to disseminate correct Information, communicate locations and whereabouts of numerous officers, and gather all students tn one place. I was in the marked-off area of the shopping center keeping this perimeter clear for about an hour. I met up with Wildlife Officer Jerrie McKee and she asked what she could do for help. I gave her Officer Vinci's phone number and she told me she was not able to reach him. A few minutes later, I overheard Colorado State Patrol dispatch say that cell phone towers were overloaded and communication was difficult. Officer McKee was asked to secure another side of the shopping center and Officer Vinci asked me to help escort the school buses to the Shepherd of the Hills Christian School located just to the south of my location at 7691 s. University Blvd., Centennial , Colorado. I drove to the west of the high school where t he school buses were load ing students and I got onto a bus and eventually, escorted 2 buses to the Christian School. While at Shepherd of the Hiiis Christian Schoof, I helped unload the students and contained the scene where hundreds of parents were waiting for their children. Wh ile at the Christian School, I met up with Officers Vinci and Wilder and they were helping to reunite students and parents. I began to help with these efforts until most of the students and parents were reunited and many of the agencies were clear to go back Into service . Before we left the incident, Officers Vinci, Wilder and I met up with Officer McKee and Wiidiife Investigator Eric Harper and went to the main Incident Command located at the Chase Bank, to the east of the school. We were asked to sign out of the incident and were provided an email address where all reports should be sent. We then cleared the Incident and at approximately 1750 hours, arrived back at the park.

SUMMARY:

Colorado State Patrol Troop 3B Limon

Connecting Case# Report Type Arapahoe School Shooting

Time Location

. Arapahoe High School

On 12/13/13 I, Captain David Aldridge. was eastbound C-470 approaching Quebec St when I received information

that there was an active shooter at Arapahoe High School located in Centennial, CO. I informed dispatch that I would

be in route to the command post at the southwest comer of University Blvd and Ory Creek Rd . I arrived at

approximately 1241 hrs. Upon arrival I met up with Maj. Packard . Maj. Packard was establishing himself for

command and control. At that point I witnessed approximately 12 officers making entrance into the south side of

the school. I gathered approximately 5 officers that had just arrived on scene. We proceeded towards the south

entrance to the school where we met up with approximately 7 other officers from other agencies.

Upon entering the south entrance we found ourselves In a large common area that divided the school. The first

team that had gone in went down the hallways that went to the west. I took our group and we began to clear the

east side of the school. A Douglas County Deputy was positioned at the entrance to the administrative offices at the

east side of the common area. He informed me that he had several staff members and students inside the

administrative offices. I instructed him to stay where he was and keep all persons inside the offices and we would

work out an evacuation plan once we had secured the east side of the school. Our group moved down a small

staircase to the first hallway and began to clear the hallway and classrooms. We did not have a key for the rooms

and did initial clears as quickly as possible. After locating a few large rooms and secondary hallways an officer

approached us with a master key. I posted officers to maintain control of the areas that we had already cleared and

returned to our starting point to do a more detailed search of each room. In the first room that we entered we

found 32 students and a staff member. The students and staff member were instructed to stay in the room and keep

quiet. I posted an officer outside the door of that room as we continued to clear other classrooms. twas then told

by an Arapahoe County Deputy that we could begin moving students and faculty out of the bui lding. I sent several

officers to continue clearing the classrooms as I went back to the common area to arrange for the evacuation. I

returned to the classroom where we conducted a patdown of everybody in the room and positioned them for their

evacuation. I sent one officer with the group to lead them out of the school. I returned to the group conducting the

detailed search. Their progress was slow and methodical and had not yet yielded any more staff or students. I took

rhis opporrunity to return to the deputy at tht! administrative offices. We began to make arranaements to get the 12

staff and students that had been located in that area out of the school.

I was approached by a staff member who had informe<I me that a young man named - had

locked himself In the administrative bathroom. I went to the bathroom and spoke to - through the door. -

opened lhe door and grab~ed my hand. -was elltremely upset and did 11ot want to let me go so I held his hand

and ran him across the street to the origiflal command posl

We were able to sec11re several master keys from the staff In the administrative offices. I gave one key to a SWAT

member on the west side of the building and took another key to the deputy at the ildminlstratlve offices and eave him Instructions to optn, clear and mark all the doors In the administrative offices. I then retvrned to the group on

the west side of the building to supply them with another key. I was informed that they had localed another 18

students and 1 staff member In the drama room. The decision was made to move them to a smaller clasuoom with

one point of entry. We relocated them to the same classroom ti-lat we found the original students that were already

evacuated.

One of the members of th~ clearing team came to me and Informed me that they had found 124 faculty and students

in one of the rech labs. I went to the room, S'10ice briefly with the staff and posted a deputy on the door. At thrs

point the deputy assi(!ned to the administralivt offices informed me that he had located l3 faculty member5 in a

small conference rocm in the administrative offices. We were given the go ahead to move those faculty members

out of the school. Shortly thereafter I was informed that sill more faculty and students were located in the cafeteria

offices. I returned to the common area and approached a SWAT member and briefed him on the number of people

that we had found and their locations. I was informe.:J that there would be no more evacuations at that time until

the bomb unit could clear evacuation routes with thetr bomb detection dogs.

With this information I began to go around to the various groups of staff and students to inform them of what was

transpiring. I contin ... ed to do this for approlllmately every twenty minutes. Sometime later we were informed that

we could take a large group of students out of the east side of the school and move them to a rally point at the south

side of the school. The clearing teams reported back to me thilt rhey had finished their secondary clears and had

posted strategically to be able to maintain control ot all areas. I coordmated officers to escort the staff and students

along the outsi~ of the school and instruCted the staff to keep their students together for accurate headcounts

Once on the south side of the school we met up with several hu"ldr~d other staff and students from varlO\Js other

parts of the school. The stud ems were then moved cowards the King Soopers to the south.

I went back into the school where a SWAT team had begun a detail clear. The original officers were holding tliere

over watch positions to help facilitate this. The situation being stabilized, I turned over control of the officers to the

SWAT team. I them respottded to the command post that was now located on the Northeast corner of University

Upon arrival at the command post I met up with Maj. Savage and other members of the command staff. They

informed me that they needed someone to go to Littleton, to the bus barn, to escort several busses to the west side

of the school. After escorting the busses to the west side of the school I was approached by Sgt. Rich Smith and

asked to take two witnesses to Euclid Middle School. In addition he asked if I could escort some of the busses to the

Shepard of the Hills church. I escorted the busses to the church and then relayed the w itnesses to the detectives at

Euclid Middle School. I then returned to the command post and waited for further assignment. I was released from

the scene at approximately 1715 hrs.

On 12/13113, at approximately 12:58 hours, I was notified by Sergeant Grissom of the 1A troop that there was an active shooter at Arapahoe High School. Since I was leaving the Golden area to respond to the Arapahoe County Courthouse, I offered to switch to the 1 C area to assist. I cleared the off1ee and was told by the 1A dispatcher that there were two motorist assists, in the 1 C area, that I could help with. The first assist was on C470 at University. As 1 responded to that location, I monitored the 1 C channel. Alter hearing request for assistance cf earing the students from the school, I notified the dispatcher of my estimated ETA to the school. Major Packard asked that all responding troopers not already at the scene remain available and not to go to the school. While en route to the assist, I observed three cars on the left shoulder of C470 in the area of University Boulevard. Upon contacting the drivers, I was told by all three that they were done exchanging information and wanted to do a counter report given ttie news of the school shooting. I next verified the safety of the motorist assist and cleared the remainder of C470.

After making a delivery at the Arapahoe County Court House, I heard 1C dispatch asking for a trooper to respond to the school to help with the student evacuations. The responding trooper was coming from the CasUe Rock area. I informed dispatch of my location and the 1 C trooper was told to continue that direction. Due to the heavy radio traffic, I verified with 6A dispatch that I was available to assist with calls in ttie 1 C area and that I was in the area of Arapahoe High School if they needed assistance. At approximately 14:45 hours, I was notified by 6A dispatch that l was to respond to the command post at the Burger King. Upon my arrival at approximately 14:47 hours. I checked in and provided my call sign to the record keeper. I was asked to move and secure a patrol vehicle, which was left in a parking lot upon the trooper's arrival. At approximately 1500 hours, I was asked to assist with escorting students from the school to the church. I escorted buses from the west side of the school to the church and then relayed law enforcement back to their vehicles. At approximately 16:22 hours, I was released from the scene.

Dec 13,2013 1233 Hours Arapal1oe Hlgh School, 2201 E Dry Creek Road, Centennial

SUMMARY:

On December 13, 2013, at approximately 1245 hours, I was on duty and in the area of County Line Road and 1-25 monitoring radio traffic on the Troop IC channel. I overheard the communications officer dispatch l-C-13 (Trooper Dinkel) to a possible shooting 111 Arapahoe High School. Numerous other Troopers assigned to the area indicated they would be en route to the school as well. I tuned the radio in my patrol car to the Arapahoe County Sherifrs Office primary dispatch channel and monitored traffic. Among other significant radio traffic, I heard a Deputy advise there was a student down and multiple rounds around a backpack. At that time I went en route to the scene, arriving at approximately 1300 hours.

Upon my arrival I parked my vehicle near the Chipotle restaurant on the southwest corner of University Boulevard and Dry Creek Ro<id, or due south of the high school. Numerous other Troopers were arriving at roughly the same time. I noticed Lt Katafo from the Douglas County Sheriffs Office standing near the south curb of Dry Creek and approached him lo learn the current status. Lt Katafo indicated they were still assembling teams to enter the school. At that time Captain David Aldridge and Corporal Darrell Salberg proceeded across Dry Creek to assist in the entry. I grabbed Trooper Dinkel and asked him to stay with me for the duration oft he event. At about that time a large amount of students began exiting from the south side of the school moving to the south. I asked additional CSP members to assist with moving the students to safety. I then proceeded to the northeast corner of Dry Creek and University.

I arrived at the incident command post and identified myself as the representative for the Colorado State Patrol. While serving in that capacity I assigned Troopers to assist with student evacuations from the north side of the school as well as students that had initially moved to the King Soopers shopping center in the area. Eventually those students were moved to the Shepard of the Hills church. I also arranged for Troopers to escort school busses into and out of the area to facilitate the evacuation of students. A short time after arriving on scene, Lt Colonel Leffler assumed my position as the agency representative within the command post .

I remained on scene until approximately 1645 hours assisting with infonnation flow and task assignments be1ween the command post and our Troopers assigned to the incidenl. When l cleared my responsibilities were !urned over lo Major Mark Savage, who remained in the command post until approximately 1800 hours.

SUMMARY: On December I 3, 2013 at I 314 hours, I, Major Mark Savage, Trooper and Molor

Carrier Services District Commander for the Colorado State Patrol {"CSP") was notified of a school shooting in progress at Arapahoe County High School. As the incoming Metro District Commander, this school is in my future area of responsibility. As I responded to the scene, I monitored the J ·C radio channel and determined that I was to respond to the command post localed at the corner of University Blvd. and Dry Creek Blvd.

Upon my arrival at 1406 hours, I located the CSP Deputy Incident Commander Major Matt Packard who was already on-scene with 1.t. Colonel Brenda Lclller, who was the CSP Incident Commander. Major Packard asked me to set up a dedicated radio fre<tucncy for responding troopers and arrange a meeting place for those troopers. He also asked me to locate an additional I 0 troopers to respond and assist. I immediately notified dispatch to locate and send the I 0 :roopers. At 1414 hours, I was noti lied by the Governor's Protection Detail that he was en-route and that they may need assistance facilitating his arrival and getting him through traffic. At approximately I 445 hours, the Governor arrived but they did not require my assistance.

At 1455 hours I again spoke with dispatch and they told me that they were able to locate and respond s~vcn troopers up 10 this point. J advised them that seven was enough and to tell them to contact me on Ops Channel I when 1hey are en-route. As all seven troopers nolified me that they were en-route I advised all responding troopers to come to my location at the Command Post for assignment The troopers responding to assist were Sergeant Wayne Sanderlin, Trooper Mark Bannister, Sergeant Larry Oletski, Trooper Rob Madden, Trooper John Huck, Trooper Jeremy Hosteller and Trooper Mutthew Molesworth . Additionally, Trooper David Dinkle was assigned to me to track the assignments for the responding troopers.

As the troopers arrived, I assigned them ns calls for service came in. Al approximately I 500 hours I sent Sergeant Wayne Sanderlin to 10 assist wi1h parentchild reunions. Al 1502 I sent Trooper Madden to the west side of the school to assist with evacuations. As the other troopers arrived I advised them to stand·by in a ready mode and await further assignment. I believe that Scrgeanl Oletski, Troopers Bannister, Huck, Hostetter and Molesworth were released without an assignment at approximately 1700 hours.

· As each trooper was released, I de-briefed them by obtaining an account of what action they took, what they saw, had them confirm their names with Trooper Dinkle for documentation purposes and confirmed that they were comfortable continuing on with their shift.

Additionally, I also personally spoke with all of the troopers who were on-scene prior to their departure and provided them with the same de-brief. During those de-briefs I learned that Captain David Aldridge, Trooper Kevin Cochran and Trooper Darrel Aulston had all responded into the school to make an initial entry. I confirmed with each of them that they were in good mental spirits and comfortable departing the scene. All of the other troopers were in good mental health as well.

At approximately 1702 hours, Lt. Colonel Leffler advised me that she and Major Packard were departing and that I was assuming command for CSP resources on scene. At that time the majority of CSP resources consisted of investigative troopers who were assisting with the investigation within the school. r did not have contact with the investigators at any time. As a member of the Unified Incident Command, I debriefed each of our members prior to their departure and assisted Arapahoe County SO with a staffing request for crime scene perimeter security. At approximately I 930 hours, l released the last troopers from assignment and we no longer had any troopers assisting except the investigators.

At 21I7 hours, after confirming the placement of three troopers to assist with the graveyard perimeter security, I cleared the scene and drove home.

On Saturday December J 4, 2013 J contacted Trooper Cochran and Corporal Aulston to confirm that they were doing ok and they both indicated they were.

ADDITIONAL INFOnMATION: The vehicle f was driving was CSP 820, an unmarked Dodge Charger equ ipped

with flashing red and blue lights. I was in a full Class A long-sleeve uniform, as well as CSP issued jacket and hat.

SYNOPSIS: On 12/13/13, I responded to and assisted in a critical incident at Arapahoe High School.

SUMMARY: On December 13, 20 I 3, I, Trooper Josh Lewis, Trooper and Public Information

Officer for the Colorado State Patrol (CSP) was en route to conduct two interviews with locnl Colorado Springs media in the Monument, CO, area. Shortly after leaving my office (located at 700 Kipling St, Lakewood, CO) l received a voicemail from the Denver Regional Communications Center (dispatch) regarding a shooting incident at Arapahoe High School (AHS). I monitored the 1-C radio channel and overheard several units, on 10-33 traffic, indicate they were en route to the school. I contact Captain Jeff Goodwin, CSP Public Affairs, to make sure he was informed or inquire if he had any further information about the incident; he was being given information during my call resulting in me leaving a voicemail for him. I contacted Sergeant Mike Baker, CSP Public Affairs, to inquire if he knew of the incident and/or had any information. He was unaware of the incident and directed me to respond to the Incident Command Center being set up near the school in lieu of continuing to my scheduled interviews. r informed him I would be en route and contact the respective TV stations after arriving. I activated my emergency lights and sirens and proceeded south on lnterslale 25. A call for all available units in the area to respond was aired; I responded I was en route.

I contacted dispatch via cell phone and informed them 1 would be en route to AHS, getting directions for the best route based on road closures, etc. Captain Goodwin called and advised he was aware of the incident, acknowledged my dismissing my previously planned interviews and the need to respond to AHS. He indicated he would make calls to the respective TV stations to let them know I would be unable to make the appointments . Shortly thereafter, I arrived on scene.

Upon urrival I parked my patrol car and attempted to find the Incident Command Center (ICC). 1 observed a CSP Sergeant nearby, guarding a roadway and was informed the ICC hnd been moved across the street, near Burger King. I took a photo with my state-issued phone of the responding law enforcement units. I found Major Matt Packard, CSP, with several other law enforcement officials having a briefing in the parking lot. I let Major Packard know J was on scene and avni I able for whatever use was needed of me. He asked me to stand by. We were informed the suspected gunman inside the school was down, with only a few known injuries. Bomb squads were being brought in based on at least one Molotov-cocktail-style device being found. Assignments were given to various members, at which point I was asked to accompany a Lieutenant from the Arapahoe Sheritf s Office to rhe athletic field (football field and track) on the north side of AHS.

1 drove with the LT to the field, observing blocked and barricaded roadways and what appeared to be civilians running to or near the entrances/exits of the school. While driving, I overheard Major Packard requesting my location; I attempted to contact him directly via my PAC set but was unable to transmit out. I attempted to contact CSP Trooper David Gurule via cell phone (Trooper Gurule was requesting me on behalf of Major Packard) in order to advise of my location. I was unable to contact him due to bad reception/busy circuits in the area.

Upon arrival to the north side of AHS, I saw hundreds of students (and corresponding faculty members) being led from the school to the track. All were asked to keep their hands up or on their heads until arriving on the track itself. I overheard several students remark, nonchalantly, they were pleased not to have to be taking tests for various subjects and the incident was a convenient way to ditch class they did not study for.

The LT asked I helped guard the fence line to ensure that no students lefi and, more likely, no parents hopped over to retrieve students. J walked along a fence line and was able to make contact with Trooper Gum le via cell phone; 1 was put in touch with Major Packard and informed him of my assignment to guard students on the field . He acknowledged.

While keeping the students in one area, several parents (and at least one media member) approached the fence. Based on the lack of information (at least information that had been confirmed) and the sensitive nature of the information, I informed parents there was not much to say at that time.

However, based on my experience and position in the Public Affairs Unit, I understand that even a little information is often enough to appease people and prevent further escalation of events (in this case, hopping a fence or becoming combative by parents). I infonned parents that were around me the threat had been subdued and there was no immediate danger, and there had not been for a while, though students would still not be sent back into the school, at all. I indicated to watch social media, and I would tell them the location they could pick up their children as soon as I received the information and they were able to go. Though parents could physically see (some were also speaking via cell phone to students/children on the field), the information was sufficient to reli eve foars and allowed the steadily growing crowd of parents to remain pacified. I continued monitoring radio traffic and wok mulriple photos of the gathered and protected students on the track.

Throughout my guard ing assignment, I remained in contact and ·updated Captain Goodwin and Sergeant Baker via text messages. This included sending the aforementioned pictures for possible use in social media (Twiner, etc.) to give: out public information. These messages were often slow in being transmitted due to the overwhelming amount of bandwidth being used in the area at that time. l also requested someone in Public Affairs "take call" (have incoming media calls transferred to them). as

I was unable to respond to anyone calling me and needed to keep lines of communication open. Sergeant Baker indicated he would take call for me.

While I was standing guard, a male parent asked if every building had been searched; I infonned him I was not aware to what extent the building(s) had been secured but that it was being handled at the moment. He indicated his daughter, a student at the school, was in an "out building" that was not attached to the main AHS building, and located on the north side (near our location) . He stated his daughter told him she (and her class) was still inside the building and nobody (meaning law enforcement) had been by to check on them. They were remaining in their class until told otherwise.

I infonned the gentleman I would relay the information, and passed it onto a mtmber of a local SWAT team that was also guarding the area. He asked which building; I informed him I did not know, but it was in our area on the north side. Together we cleared two small buildings/garages that were locked from the outside and secured. He indicated he would relay the information about another class or building not being checked yet.

l informed the gentleman I had relayed the information. He pointed to a tan building near the main campus of AHS and said he believed it was the building his daughter was in. I indicated I understood and would again relay the infonnation, which I did (to the sarne SWAT member).

According to the radio (dispatch), several buses were being let through to transport the students on the track to a secure location for parent retrieval. I observed several lines or classes of students being lead off the field to the busses. Radio traffic indicated the students were being taken to Euclid Middle School (also referred to as an elementary school). Traffic indicated parents were allowed to meet students and sign them our if the student was not a witness to the main incident. I informed parents the students were being taken from the field via bus and would be released to them shortly. Parents started to disperse. I returned to the main group of students that were still on the track.

A message came from dispatch asking for additional Troopers to either escort with patrol cars or ride on the busses that were taking students. Another Trooper that had responded to the track shortly before indicated we could respond and assist.

As there were various law enforcement officials on the track and the students were being taken away, my need to remain on the track was lessened. I accompanied the other Trooper across the field between the track and the main AHS campus, where both our vehicles were parked. I indicated to the Trooper I did not know if the tan building near the main campus building was cleared yet and wanted to take a look. He continued on.

As I approached the tan building and rounded to the front of it (where the windows and doors were located), I observed two separate but coordinated tactical teams, each with approximately 5-6 law enforcement officers, approach the two respective doors

of the tan building. As they were about to perform an entry, I stood back and awaited their findings.

They knocked loudly on the doors, announced they were police and requested entrance. Upon the respective doors being opened, the teams tactically entered and immediately demanded all hands be raised. One officer pulled the teacher aside, asking if anyone was hurt or if there was anyone inside that he was afraid of or threatened by. The teacher indicated nobody was hurt and no threat was in the room.

Students were removed, with the order to keep their hands up or on their heads. They were instructed to go to the field with the remaining students. One member of the team indicated they needed to be patted down first. I approached the group and paned down one male party. As there were several officers conducting the very quick pat downs the group of ready students was growing. I indicated I would escort those ready students to the field. I started down the same path and field I had taken to get to the tan building with a group of approximately 15-20 students with me. I continually watched the students and surroundings.

I attempted to inform the students, many of whom were crying and/or visibly upset, that they were okay, they were safe, nothing would happen to them, and they were survivors. We approached the track and were stopped by officers on the field indicating the students needed to be patted down and have a quick question/answer session (IE, were they witnesses, hurt, etc). I kept the respective group with me while other officers conducted the pat downs/question.

Two other groups followed my first group within minutes. I met them partway and had them stand by for the first group to be completed. I asked if anyone was hurt or a witness to anything; they all responded in the negative. The groups were passed on to the officers on the field.

I observed the gentleman that initially contacted me about his daughter being in the tan building as the lone person still standing by the fence. I made my way across the field, and he approached me. I indicated his daughter was out, she was safe, and she would be transported to a location he could get her at soon. He thanked me, and we parted.

I returned to the ICC to find another assignment. I met with Chief Scott Hernandez, CSP, who was standing near and in a circle with CDPS Executive Director Jim Davis and Colorado Governor John Hicken looper. Gov. Hicken looper shook our hands and was taken to the ICC area for more information. While the other individuals were discussing matters, I requested an employee of Burger King (which was in the roped off area and not accessible to the public) to step back inside the building; she did without issue.

I met Major Mark Savage, CSP, and Major Packard. Lt. Col. Brenda Lerner, CSP, came out of rhe ICC, and I informed her I was available for either PIO duties or

Assignments were given, and I was told to attend the press conference on the street in case I was needed as a PIO. While I observed the conference, a bus driver asked me where he needed to go as he was requested from another district to assist I escorted him to the ICC to find out where he was needed.

I was asked by Major-Savage to gel my coat and put it on (as the temperature was dropping, and I had been outside for several hours in short sleeves). Upon his request I walked with the Executive Director and the Governor's Chief of Staff (who also made a comment about me needing a coat) past the area of the (now conclouded) press conference and to my vehicle. I put my CSP-issued coat on and returned to the ICC area to await further instructions or assignments.

Eventually more CSP members arrived to the area. We were given food and informed we would be debriefed shortly, and most likely dismissed. While waiting, I contacted Sergeant Baker and informed him we were waiting to possibly be dismissed and I would resume taking call. He indicated he had not received any calls but that was fine, asking if everything was okay. I informed him it was and things were slowing down.

Lt Col. Leffier called all CSP members around to inform us that we would be dismissed shortly. Mos1 of us had a sandwich and/or chips wh ile waiting. Major Savage called us around shortly thereafter, indicating we would need to fill out supplemental repor1s and have those sent to him and/or Gina Jeffries within a day. We were all thanked for our respective roles nnd told to give him a "thumbs up,, before leaving.

I asked Major Packard if there was any public information I should be made aware of in case media called. He indicated (and l agreed) to have media requests transferred to the Arapahoe County Sherifrs omce, but CSP involvement was assisting ACSO as requested.

Date Time Location 14 December 2013 12,:40 PM Arapahoe High School 2201 E. Dry Creek Rd Centennial CO.

SUMMARY: On 13 December 2013 at approximately 12:40 CSP Denver Comm Center was advised of an active school shooter at 2201 E Dry Creek Rd, Centennial, CO 80122. At approximately 12:53 hours, I, Sergeant LR. Smith S60, overheard the radio, about the school shooting incident. I was approximately 6 miles away and began responding emergent to the scene.

I arrived on scene at approximately 13:00 hours. I was dressed in plain clothing. I put on a tactical ballistic vest with large labels identifying me as a "Trooper". I armed myself with my tactical rifle and EMT trauma kit. I staged on the south side of the high school near the main entrance area. At this point I did not know how many shooters were involved, the description of the shooter or the last known location of the shooter. Another CSP Sergeant (536) met up with me at this location.

Shortly after, a large group of students began to evacuate the high school on foot. The exited from the main entrance and moved south across Dry Creek Road to a strip mall. S36 and I provided tactical security for the evacuating students . We did not know if a shooter would be in the group. Approximately 1,000 students moved through our zone past us and into an alley behind the strip mall. At the conclusion of the evacuation I was directed to report to the command post behind Burger King at Ory Creek and S. Univers ity Blvd.

Major P;ickard directed me to move to the north side of the h igh school and to gather three troopers to set up a bus evacuation for students. I met up with 1C2:S (Sanchez). We moved our patrol cars to the NE corner of the campus. The NE corner of the high school parking lot was filled with civilian cars, and the drive way was

partially blocked by emergency vehicles . At approximately 13:53 we moved through the parking lots at the north end of the school and observed a large group of approximately 1,000 students standing in an athletic field near the NE corner of the campus. Additional officers were guarding va rious entrances to the school and maintaining a security perimeter along the parking lot north of the High School building. One uniformed officer directed us to pursue two adults moving in a SE direction from the athletic fie ld toward the campus. We ran a short distance and determined the two adults were a uniformed officer escorting a student with medical needs.

Later we moved to the center west edge of the campus along the 7400 block of S. Franklin St. An ACSO and a School aus supervisor were waiting in the driveway. Empty school busses began to arrive and kids were released from the athletic field in groups of approximately 100. Uniformed officers provided security as they

walked south to our position. I was advised to request one police officer per bus for security and a police

escort vehicle to take the bus from the school evacuation zone to Shepherd of the Hills Church. I requested

additional officers on the radio. I assigned one officer per bus with a lead and tai l car for the first group of three buses.

Just after the first convoy of three buses left. I was advised to begin screening the evacuating students to segregate witnesses in one bus and all other students in other buses. I asked the school bus employee to radio the drivers who had already left to ask for witnesses.

Later a uniformed co Parks officer and a plain clothes Parole officer arrived. I asked them to ride on buses for security . Very soon we ran out of officers for security and could only find one CSP vehicle to escort each successive convoy of buses. We requested additional officers through dispatch. The CSP escort vehicles brought the officers back to the evacuation zone as they completed each convoy. We used the same officers repeatedly for security escorts on the buses, as quickly as they could return. If no officers were available we

had to send the bus empty to keep the evacuation running smoothly.

A Department of Corrections uniformed officer advised me of a group of student witnesses that he was sequestering at a road block on S. Franklin Ave north of the evacuation zone. A separate bus was sent to his location to pick up the student witnesses and transport them to Euclid. We had identified two witnesses (one WF student and one WF teacher) in our evacuation zone. The two witnesses were placed in the patrol car being driven by Captain Aldridge, who later transported them to Euclid.

A uniform~d ACSO Deputy brought a group of approximately 10 student witnesses that had completed field interviews. These student witnesses were placed on a separate bus (#777). I originally directed that bus to go to the alternate drop off location at Euclid School. Later, at approximately 15:29 hours, Dispatch advised me that Bus 777 could go to the Shepherd of the Hills Church. I alerted the bus supervisor who radioed the new instructions to the driver.

At Approximately 15:40 hours we had evacuated approximately 1,000 students from this location. We ended up with 10 empty buses. One bus was parked In the evac zone in case it was needed and the other 9 buses were sent to stage up at a nearby LOS church and await further instructions. The bus evacuation had been completed .

R45 Corporal Limburg gave me a ride back to the east side of the campus where I could pick up my patrol car.

I drove the patrol car back to the west side of the campus to find my cell phone which had been previously lost. Upon quickly finding the phone I returned to the Command Post to await my next assignment.

SUMMARY:

On 12/13/13 at approximately 1259 I had just come on duty at my residence in Highlands Ranch, CO. At that time CSJ> dispatch notified me there was an "Active Shooter" incident in progress at Arapahoe High School. I immediately responded co rhe school running with lights and si ren on. While en route l heard numerous CSP units calling out at the school. I heard Major Packard state that responders were staging on the west side of the Chipotle at.:ross from the school. I arrived at the Chipotle at 1307 and reported to Major Packard.

Major Packard asked me to remain there while he went to the command post which was being set up at the Burger King to the northeast of our location. I, CSP Sgt. Smith, and "Parole 417" remained outside the south side of the school, primarily to keep anyone from auempting to reenter the building. Jn time, Major Packard asked for some extra assistance so Sgt. Smith responded to the command post.

At about 1415, there was a request for officers to ride the evacuation buses being used to shuttle students to Euclid Middle School and Shepherd of the Hills Church. By this point numerous swat units were positioned along the south side of the school so the parole officer and I moved over to the west side of the school. I rode one evacuation bus to Euclid Middle School and one to Shepherd of the Hills. By that point the evacuation from the high school was complete so I responded to the command post for further assignment.

While at the command post I was advised there were traffic control problems at Shepherd of the Hills, so I went back to the church. At !he church I assisted Sergeant Sanderlin and Troopers Walters and Meyers with traffic control at the moin entrance. There were numerous cars and distraught students and parents all in close proximity and the situation could have been very dangerous for the pedestrians. At one point a man carrying a large cross along the sidewalk was confronted by a person who thought it out of place, considering the situation. Luckily, after a short verbal confrontation the cross bearer agreed to move on. We continued to direct traffic until all of the students had been picked up. Once traffic into the church had virtually come to a stop we cleared a numbers of vehicles off of University into the parking lot and cleared the scene. That concluded my participation in the event.

I heard other troopers staging at ~rapahoe High School and CSP Dispatch spoke of a possible shooter. I attempted to call CSP Dispatch to go on duty as I assumed we were on 10-33 traffic. CSP Dispatch hung up on me as I was on lhe phone, so 1 attempted to log on to cad with no connectivity. l lhen contacted CSP Dispatch on !he radio and gave them my login information and stated that I was already en route to the high school to assist with the incident.

At approximately 1330 hours, I arrived at the command cenrer at the Burger King on the northeast corner of South University Blvd and East Dry Creek Road. l spoke with Major Packard who stated to look for Trooper Lewis who just left the command center. I attempted to call Trooper Lewis on his cell phone but was unable to contact him as the cell service was not available. I attempted him on the car radio with no response. Major Packard then requested that I stay with the Arapahoe School District Security Member and act as liaison, to relay information. I sat with the security member for approximately 20 minutes when he and his other staff stated their cell phones were about to run out of battery. I left lo get my patrol car to plug in everyone's cell phones, when I was intercepted by Captain Douglas Shelton who stated they needed Troopers over to the west side of the high school to escort the school buses with students to the. Euclid Middle School. l responded to the west side of the school and escorted students on several buses. I then escorled a bus in my patrol vehicle to a new location, Sheppard of the Hills Church. I then went back to the school and got on one of the buses and· accompanied the students to the Sheppard of the Hills Church.

After completing the escort I responded to the command center and waited for a new assignment. Shortly thereafter we were relieved from the incident. Approximately 30 minutes later 1 was called back lo the intersection of South University Boulevard and East Dry Creek Road lo maintain a roadblock for northbound traffic. I maintained the roadblock for approximately one and a half hours before Arapahoe County Deputies relieved me and I cleared from the inc ident with no further involvement.

Location Arapahoe High School

On December 13th, 2013 at approximately 1330 hours, while al the Colorado State Patrol office in Castle Rock, I became aware of a shooting that had occurred at Arapahoe High School. I left the office a few minutes later and proceeded to the area of Arapahoe High School. While I was in route r heard over the patrol radio that che command post for the incident was located in the Burger King parking lot area at Dry Creek and University adjacent to Arapahoe High School. Upon my arrival, at approximately 1353 hours, I proceeded to locate Major Mau Packard who had been on scene prior to my arrival. There was no immediate need for my assistance so I proceeded to an area around the Burger King restaurant that was cordoned off with police line. Inside this area were numerous students and teachers that had been evacuated from the High School. I advised Major Packard I would be in this area helping to provide security until I received further instruclion from him.

Major Mark Savage arrived shortly after that and he and I were tasked to find Troopers to assist in providing security and escorts for the buses that were transporting the evacuated students and teachers from the areas around the school. I remained in this role until all of the students and teachers had been transported away from the school.

Once the school had been secured, and all of the occupants of the school were transponed from the area around the school, all of the Troopers were released from their responsibilities at the school. Sergeant Seneca/ and three other Troopers remained assisting in reuniting students with their parents at the Sheppard of the Hills Church. Having no further need for the other Troopers and myself, Major Savage gathered us together and did a short debriefing. I lefl the area at approximately 1630 hours and took no further action related to this incident
