A fourth student was also transported to the hospital, but with an unknown injury, authorities said previously.
In a statement, Colorado Governor Jared Polis said he was “devastated” by the shooting.
“My heart is with the victims and their families while dealing with this act of meaningless violence,” Polis said.
After the shooting, the school was placed in a closure and the officials swept the campus.

“This is the most frightening to think that it could happen,” said Sheriff’s office spokesman Jacki Kelley, at a previous press conference.
Kelley said he could not provide any other detail about the alleged shooter, including the age or genre of the suspect.
“I don’t know if our suspect is greater enough to drive,” Kelley said.
She said the authorities were looking for an order for the student’s house and locker.
The Sheriff’s office said the suspect was armed with a revolver gun.
