ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Seniors from a Colorado high school where a student was killed trying to stop a shooting nearly two weeks ago graduated Monday.
STEM School Highlands Ranch held its commencement ceremony at a Denver Broncos training facility and honored 18-year-old Kendrick Castillo, who was fatally shot when he and two classmates tackled one of the two gunmen May 7. The shooting came during the last week of classes for Castillo and his fellow seniors.
"It was an attack on so many things, but it was also an attack on this common ideological foundation that was fundamentally the center of our school: mutual respect for our peers' individuality. A love for each student's personal and particular nature," she said."However, Kendrick's personal nature was not shaken. He continued to love and to protect just as he had. Kendrick died as he lived.
"Kendrick's identity does not lie in the fact that he died protecting our school and our classmates, but rather that it was so fundamentally him to love that much," she said. According to Bialy, Castillo sprang into action against the shooter"and immediately was on top of him with complete disregard for his own safety." Jones, 18, said he was shot twice in the leg before Bialy was able to take the attacker's gun.
