PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) — Police have released the name of a man who was found dead in a van that was tied to a drive-by shooting at a Pueblo high school.

The Pueblo Chieftain reports (http://goo.gl/6nzHos ) 25-year-old Julian Hernandez was pulled over after the shooting Wednesday afternoon and had shot himself by the time state troopers reached his van.

About an hour earlier, a staff member at East High School was called out by name and shot at as students were going home for the day. The staffer, whose name has not been released, suffered minor injuries.

The shooting at East prompted a lockdown for about 15 to 20 minutes.

No other information was released.
