A Colorado Springs teenager was arrested Wednesday in an Aurora shooting that killed a 15-year-old girl and injured two other victims outside of a fire station, police said.
The 14-year-old suspect was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder, 10 counts of attempted first-degree murder and two counts of possessing a handgun as a juvenile, Aurora Police Department spokesperson Joe Moylan said.
Police are not publicly identifying the suspect because of his age.
The teenager is in custody at the El Paso County Jail but will be transferred to Arapahoe County Jail to face charges in Arapahoe Juvenile Court, according to a news release from the Aurora Police Department. He hadn’t yet been charged on Thursday.
Two 15-year-old girls and a 20-year-old woman were shot just after 12:30 a.m. Sunday outside of an Aurora Fire Rescue station at 12600 East Hoffman Blvd.
Firefighters were returning to the station from another call when they found a 15-year-old girl and a 20-year-old woman who had been shot, police said.
The teenager, who has not been publicly identified, died from her injuries at the hospital, police said.
She will be identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office.
The third victim was discovered several hours after the shooting.
Police found two guns when they searched the teenage suspect’s home that were turned in for ballistics testing to see if they match the crime scene evidence, according to the news release.
Anyone with information about the shooting or suspect is asked to call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867.
