Judge seals case file of two teens charged with murder in Colorado school shooting

Remember that school shooting at the STEM charter school in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, last week that left one student dead and eight other injured? You’re forgiven if you don’t, seeing as the coverage hasn’t exactly been wall-to-wall as it is with some school shootings and not others — it’s kind of weird how the media picks and chooses which ones matter.

The two suspects were formally charged Wednesday with murder and attempted murder, and the judge promptly put the entire case file under seal.

Reuters reports:

Devon Erickson, 18, and Alec McKinney, 16, are accused of opening fire on fellow students in two classrooms at the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) charter school in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, on May 7. McKinney, who identifies as male, was listed on the court docket as Maya Elizabeth McKinney.

Douglas County District Judge Theresa Slade has put the charges along with the entire case file under seal, banning the public from seeing it. Both teenagers were each facing a range of charges including first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, arson and theft.

McKinney was charged as an adult, prosecutors said.
