DENVER—A security guard credited with capturing one of the two suspects in this week’s suburban Denver school shooting fired his weapon inside the school, a law enforcement official with knowledge of the case told The Associated Press on May 9.

The security guard has not been identified but is a former Marine who has stayed out of the public eye since May 7, when two suspects opened fire at the STEM School Highlands Ranch, killing one student and injuring eight.
