Student killed in shooting was 'hero'

Kendrick Castillo, Highlands Ranch senior, lunged at shooter, enabling others to escape

The 18-year-old victim who died on Tuesday in a shooting at a charter school in a Colorado suburb was fatally injured while trying to stop a shooter from hurting his fellow classmates, his family and friends said.

Kendrick Ray Castillo, a senior at the K-12 school, lunged at the shooter as he entered Castillo's British literature class, giving other students time to escape.
