CBS News Colorado is not identifying the girl who was shot due to her age. Police later learned of a third victim, another minor, who sustained a bullet graze wound.
In addition to the homicide charge, the boy who was arrested is facing 10 counts of attempted homicide and two counts of possession of a handgun by a juvenile. Police did not immediately identify him but said more information would be forthcoming on Thursday.
