When a gunman burst into his high school classroom in suburban Denver, Kendrick Castillo did not hesitate.
Castillo sprang into action against the shooter “and immediately was on top of him with complete disregard for his own safety,” said Bialy, a close friend of Castillo's who has signed up to join the Marines. Cecilia Bedard, 19, had known Castillo since elementary school and said he was always friendly, modest and excited to help people. He made a point of always joining his father at Knights of Columbus fundraisers and bingo nights.Bialy smiled as he recounted the struggle with the shooter to reporters, saying that he wanted to focus on the positive."They completely and utterly failed in a matter of half a minute," he said of the attackers.
Both suspects were students at the school, and they were not previously known to authorities, Spurlock said. Formal charges were expected to be filed by Friday. Brauchler said he could not discuss any motive or weapons used in the attack.Josh Dutton, 18, said he was close friends with Erickson in middle school but had not seen him for four years while attending a different high school. On Sunday, he spotted Erickson at a local light rail station and said he was shocked at how much his friend had changed.“He said he'd just turned 18 and he owned rifles,” Dutton said.
