Last I heard was two dead, a teacher and a student, and at least two in hospital with life-threatening wounds. Shooter is dead by her own hand – yes, her; a 17 year old girl is what was reported.

A teacher and two other students received non-life-threatening injuries, according to Barnes. ---

I’m a big KMFDM fan and even moderate their official subreddit on Reddit. She wore a KMFDM shirt just like the shooters in Columbine. Of course, KMFDM has zero to do with violence and does not advocate or even seem like a violent band. I mean, they are no Cannibal Corpse.
