The student who was accused of shooting and wounding two workers at his Denver high school has been found dead by police.
The Park County Coroners Office confirmed that they found 17-year-old Austin Lyle's body near his car in an apparent suicide, local reports said.
Lyle was accused of shooting faculty members as they were patting him down for weapons as part of a 'safety plan' devised for the youth based on previous behavioral issues.
The East High School student fled the shooting scene on foot immediately after Wednesday's violence, which unfolded just before 10am local time.
Denver Police Department had said in a

Considering the possible alternatives (carjacking, home invasion, kidnapping), this is probably the second best outcome. The best outcome would have been to turn himself in, but apparently he didn't consider that an option.

My roommate at UVa in 1973-1974 regaled me with a story from a Detroit high school when the city was considered perhaps the most dangerous in America. One student had brought a knife to school, and had decided to rob another student. He waited behind a coat rack in the hallway until just after classes had begun, hoping to snare a straggler. When a promising victim happened along, late for class, the knife assailant sprang out in front of his intended victim and backed him into a place from which there was no escape, demanding his wallet. (In those days there were no cell phones or Air Jordan sneakers to steal.) The fellow with his back to the wall got a horrified expression on his face, exclaimed "Oh, no!" and reached downward for his wallet--no, that wasn't a wallet he got hold of, it was a Colt .38 Special snub-nosed revolver. The knife robber took a 158 grain soft-nosed lead bullet to his heart, and that was that. He expired supine right outside the science lab. Bet he won't rob anyone else anytime soon!
Detroit. I've been there before. Requires a good local tour guide to get the maximum Motor City effect.

He must have been very special indeed to have his own, personalized security plan, exercised every day.
And he was STILL dumb enough to carry, then shoot two unarmed men, and then run away.
Nobody is that stupid, or at least I thought not.
There is a cultural issue here that will continue this way basically forever, until it's addressed

Seems to me that a student who needed a daily pat-down for weapons should have been in juvie and not at school at the very least. But being of the right melanin content, he was let off daily. Like Trayvon, if the school had done its job, this kid would likely still be alive.

From another article that provides job titles of the two employees shot at Denver East HS: Sinclair is the school’s dean of culture and Mason is a restorative practice coordinator in the dean’s office, according to the school’s website.
How is that for mamby pamby job titles?! Also in another article, the DPS Superintendent committed to having two armed police officers stationed at East HS through the end of the school year. Armed officers were removed from Denver schools as per district policy adopted in 2021. Here is a quote from the Denver Mayor: “Removing them (police officers) was a mistake,” he said in a statement on Twitter, “and we must move swiftly to correct it.”
These liberals are eating crow after a jolt of deadly serious reality. The two shootings yesterday occurred five weeks after a fatal shooting near the school of a 16 year old student.

Vigilante justice? Understandable but I hope not. I'd rather the menace agonize over his reality and chose the coward's way out.

The Darwin Award goes to Austin Lyle for student of the year for His unselfish act of public service suicide. Thus saving taxpayers millions of dollars dealing with his stupidity.

Anyone who earned the need to be patted down on a daily basis #1) should NOT have been allowed to continue in the school. Potential victims should take president over any rights of a potentially deadly threat. He should not have been there. #2) Any child that needs a daily weapons pat down - needs a heck of a lot more than daily weapons pat downs. What are they trying to accomplish?

Like so many from his "culture," this poor boy had a "rendezvous with death" and he did not fail to keep that rendezvous. Black lives shattered.

It's almost unheard of for black predators to off themselves. I'm suspicious. If he had been properly locked up for 20 years the first time he brought weapons to school, this would not have happened.

One of the things I miss the most about high school in the 60's is the daily pat-down.
