2 Students Struck by Lightning in Denver

News Link
One had no pulse and was not breathing when EMTs arrived. He is in critical condition.

Look at the picture of where this happened - sitting under a tall tree in the middle of an open field. That is called a lightning rod. Seeking shelter under a tree during a lightning storm is the second most likely place to be struck by lightning. The most likely is making yourself the lightning rod by standing on high ground in an open field or on a rock outcropping.
