Details emerge on the deadly attack at Platte Canyon High School in which 53 year old Duane Morrison held six girls hostage, assaulted some and killed 16 year old Emily Keyes before dying by suicide. Authorities say Morrison, living in a yellow Jeep, entered Wednesday with two handguns and a bomb claim, but no bomb found. Sheriff Wegener said the assaults went beyond touching and that the gunman seemed to favor blond students. The siege ended when a SWAT team breached the classroom, Morrison fired on officers and Keyes was fatally shot. The community canceled classes for the rest of the week. Morrison had prior arrests in 1973 and 2004.
