JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. — One of the two students injured in the shooting at Evergreen High School last month has been discharged from the hospital, a spokesperson with Children’s Hospital Colorado said Wednesday.
The patient, who was identified as a 14-year-old boy by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office last week, had been hospitalized at Children’s after being transferred from another hospital following the Sept. 10 shooting.
In a statement, the spokesperson for Children’s said the boy was in good condition and could continue his recovery at home.
The 14-year-old, along with 18-year-old Matthew Silverstone, were injured when a 16-year-old peer opened fired at the campus. The shooter then turned the gun on himself and died hours later.
Matthew’s family released a statement last month saying they had “glimmers of hope” as the teen continued to fight for his life.
