The Mesa County Coroner’s Office announced Bueno, 17, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Emergency crews immediately responded after the discovery and police closed off the area. Students were later escorted to their cars or told to get picked up by parents and all after school activities were cancelled.
