DENVER (KDVR) — One of the two victims hospitalized after the shooting at Evergreen High School has been identified.

The family of 18-year-old Matthew Silverstone released a photo and statement through the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday afternoon.

“The family appreciates the community’s concern and support, but as we remain focused on our loved one’s recovery, we respectfully request privacy as we continue to heal and navigate the road ahead,” the statement said.

The second hospitalized victim’s family has asked for privacy, according to the sheriff’s office, and has chosen not to release a statement or photo.

On Wednesday at 12:24 p.m., a student opened fire both inside and outside of the high school building and struck the two other students.
