Shots were fired in the parking lot of the high school located at 1250 South Chambers Road in Aurora just after noon Friday. More than a dozen gunshots were heard in the parking lot at the time of the shooting.

Wilson said that an Aurora Public Schools security officer was immediately on scene and helped secure the school and help initiate lockdown procedures associated with a shooting.

“We are tired of this,” said Wilson.

CBS4 obtained cellphone video from a parent of a student at Hinkley High School where several shots can be heard while the student inside the vehicle can be heard saying quietly, “Oh, no. No, no, no.”

She urged parents to check their children’s phones and know who they are hanging out with. Wilson also urged witnesses to come forward and turn in any photos or video that they may have to help with the investigation.

“We have no concern for life whatsoever. I need the parents to get involved, I need you checking phones, I need you checking rooms, I need you checking cars and taking these guns away from these kids,“ said Wilson. “We cannot do it alone.”

Wilson said that even though none of the injuries appear life-threatening in Friday’s shooting, “The emotional scars, not only the people who were hit today, but the people who witness it are going to be life-long.”
