The body was found around 7 a.m. in the northeast portion of the campus near Rocky Mountain Drive, a few blocks away from the school’s physical address of 1750 S. White Rd. Officer Gina Tepoorten said the man was found just inside a gate that is used by students to enter the campus by way of the athletic fields.

Superintendent Chris Funk said the man had no connections to the school.

Tepoorten said police got no 911 calls reporting any gunfire prior to the body being found. She added that there is no public danger posed by the incident.

Officers could be seen canvassing the neighborhood Tuesday looking for leads and possible witnesses. Neither a motive nor any suspects have been identified.
