Colorado authorities have decided not to pursue gun-related charges against the parents of 16-year-old Desmond Holly, who wounded two students in a September 2025 shooting at Evergreen High School, citing insufficient evidence. The firearm used was stored in a locked safe, and DNA testing did not link the parents to the weapon. Investigators concluded that Holly, who later died from self-inflicted injuries, had developed a fixation on past school shootings but was not aligned with any extremist ideology. The incident appeared random, with no specific targets identified.
