Colorado authorities decline gun charges against parents of Evergreen High School shooter

Colorado authorities said Wednesday they will not pursue gun-related charges against the parents of a teenager who wounded two students — both of whom sustained life-threatening injuries — during a shooting at a high school last fall, citing insufficient evidence.

The parents of Desmond Holly, 16, were reviewed for possible charges tied to firearm access or storage following the Sept. 10 shooting at Evergreen High School, but investigators determined there was no basis to move forward, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said.
