A 16-year-old student -- who authorities say opened fire at his Colorado 
high school on Wednesday, wounding two classmates and then turning the gun 
on himself -- was believed to be "radicalized by some extremist network,” 
officials with the local sheriff's office said.

The gunfire at Evergreen High School broke out at about 12:24 p.m. local 
time, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.

Three students were taken to the hospital in critical condition following 
the gunfire, including the suspected shooter, who was injured by a self-
inflicted gunshot wound, the sheriff's office said.

The sheriff's office confirmed the suspect died in a post on social media 
Wednesday evening.

The suspect was identified as 16-year-old Desmond Holly, Jefferson County 
Sheriff officials said during a press conference on Thursday. An image of 
the shooter was also released by officials.

Officials determined the weapon was a revolver that was "fired a lot." 
Shots could be seen fired at windows and lockers, authorities said on 
Thursday.

The suspect allegedly went through the school trying to "find new 
targets," but came upon "roadblocks" as doors were locked and he could not 
keep shooting victims, the sheriff's department said.

While authorities are still looking into the shooter's motive, they 
believe he was "radicalized by some extremist network," and that he had a 
"mission," officials said. Authorities said they are trying to better 
understand that network, and are searching his phone, home and locker to 
learn more on who he was communicating with before the shooting.

FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement on Thursday that an "evidence 
response team and other specialty resources" have been deployed "as part 
of our response to this incident."

"Most importantly, our thoughts continue to be with the two victims 
injured in the shooting and all those who have been impacted by this 
horrific attack," Patel said in a post shared on X.

The sheriff's office said on Thursday "no one has been released" from the 
hospital, despite earlier reports from hospital officials saying one of 
the injured had been released. 

Previously, authorities said on Wednesday a fourth student was also 
transported to the hospital with an unknown injury, but the sheriff's 
office said on Thursday they "think it's just three" who were injured.
