BAILEY, Colo. (AP) - A gunman who took over a high school classroom last fall and sexually assaulted some students held a gun to at least one girl's neck and threatened to kill her if she resisted, investigators said in a chilling final report.
Duane Roger Morrison, a 53-year-old drifter, screamed and waved a handgun at his sobbing hostages at Platte Canyon High School, fired once into the air and threatened to blow up the building, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation report on the Sept. 27 standoff.
Morrison shot and killed Emily Keyes, 16, as a SWAT team stormed the classroom after a four-hour standoff. Five other hostages had already been released, and a sixth escaped as officers entered the room. Morrison died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, though officers also shot him three times.
