LAKEWOOD, Colo. — Staff at CommonSpirit St. Anthony Hospital had about 5 to 10 minutes to prepare for incoming students who were hurt in the Evergreen High School shooting Wednesday afternoon, according to the hospital's trauma medical director Dr. Brian Blackwood.

St. Anthony is the closest level-one trauma center to Evergreen High School. Just a couple weeks ago, the hospital said staff trained for a shooting like this.

"We did a large active shooter drill where we had multiple double digit patients theoretically present themselves. And it's a way of practicing the stress that the hospital would go from normal daily life to all sudden, a lot of patients are coming in very quickly," Dr. Blackwood said.
