LOCAL NEWS I 5 DENVER CATHOLIC REGISTER I JANUARY 29, 2014 Student lights self on fire, injures another PHOTO COURTESY CBS4 EMERGENCY crews line the street outside Standley Lake High School Jan. 27 after reports of a fire in the morning. A Standley Lake High School student reportedly set himself on fire Monday morning, severely burning himself and causing minor injuries to another person, according to the Westminster Fire Department. The Westminster school was evacuated and is closed. Denver Archbishop Samuel Aquila tweeted in response to the news saying, "Please join me in praying for the young man injured during the alleged suicide attempt." Emergency crews responded to reports of a fire at 7:15 a.m. Jan. 27, said Diana Wilson, a Westminster Fire Department spokeswoman. One male student suffered burns over 80 percent of his body. "I've heard it was suicide but I can't confirm that," Wilson said. The student's motive for lighting himself on fire remained unclear. The school will also be closed Jan. 28 although students will be allowed to return to pick-up their belongings, said Melissa Reeves, Jeffco Public Schools news media specialist.

Good luck in NFL SUPER BOWL XLVIII From everyone at the Archdiocese of Denver (and beyond) The heritage behind our mortuaries and cemeteries is one of history and tradition. Harry Stevenson 52 Years For more than a century, Catholic families have trusted Olinger Mortuaries and Cemeteries to care for their loved ones because respect for traditions, understanding the needs of the Catholic faith, and providing affordable options is at the heart of what we do. With more than a 79 years of combined experience, parishioners Harry Stevenson and Matt Whaley have assisted families with care and compassion. Today, their experience, combined with those who provide professional services in 11 Olinger neighborhood Matt Whaley chapels, is virtually unprecedented in serving the 27 Years Denver Catholic community.
