Autopsy to investigate shooter’s death By Jon Sarche No stopping you now. The Associated Press

DENVER — The man who took six girls hostage at a Colo- rado high school last week was shot four times as the standoff ended — once by his own gun and three times by SWAT of- ficers, according to autopsy re- sults released Wednesday by state officials. Authorities were awaiting more information to determine whether Duane Morrison died from the self-inflicted gunshot wound or the officers’ shots, said Lance Clem, spokesman for the Colorado Bureau of In- vestigation. Morrison, a 53-year-old drift- er, had taken six girls hostage at Platte Canyon High School Sept. 27. He released four of them be- fore SWAT officers blasted their way into Room 206, when au- thorities say he shot 16-year-old Emily Keyes before shooting himself. Clem said autopsy results showed that Morrison killed Keyes with a single gunshot to the back of the head. She and the other five girls had been sexually assaulted, Sheriff Fred Wegener has said. Tests show that Morrison had no drugs or alcohol in his system, Clem said. The shooting, one of several at schools across the country in the last several days, was similar to a slaying Monday at an Amish schoolhouse in Pennsylvania, in which a man tied up 10 young girls and shot them, killing five, before killing himself.
