A third child had been taken to the hospital and was in surgery by 8:55 a.m local time.

“It appears to be an isolated incident. We are talking to people, we are talking to witnesses but we have no indication that there is a shooter out there on the loose in Denver,” Denver Police Lt. Matt Murray told reporters. “All of the children appear to be under the age of 10. However because we have not been able to verify identity I can’t tell you exactly how old each child was… They are young children.”
