Breaking News, Students Shot @ Littleton School

Two juveniles have been injured in a shooting at Deer Creek Middle School, officials said.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said the suspected shooter has been arrested.
"We have two victims, both juveniles," said Mark Techmeyer, spokesman for the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. Techmeyer said he did not know the victims' conditions.
"They're both shot," Techmeyer said.
Both victims were transported to a local hospital. One is a boy and the other a girl.
"Neither of the injuries appears to be life-threatening," said Cindy Matthews, spokeswoman for the West Metro Fire District.
Authorities said they believe the two are students.
Techmeyer said he believed one victim was found inside the school and one outside.
The school is on lockdown, and deputies are sweeping the campus to make sure there are no additional suspects. West Metro crews remain on standby at the campus, but Matthews said she didn't anticipate any further injuries.
Authorities described the suspect only as an adult male. It's unclear if he has any affiliation with the school.
The school is located at 9201 W. Columbine Drive, near South Kipling Street and West Ken Caryl Avenue, in Littleton.
