LITTLETON, COLO. (AP) -- A judge has set bail at $1 million in cash for a man suspected of shooting and wounding two students outside a suburban Denver middle school.

32-year-old Bruco Strong Eagle Eastwood said nothing during the brief hearing Wednesday.

He faces two counts of attempted first-degree murder.

He appeared by video hookup from the jail, wearing an orange inmate jumpsuit with his dark, shoulder-length hair hanging loose.

Investigators say Eastwood began firing at students with a hunting rifle outside Deer Creek Middle School in Littleton as teenagers were leaving for the day on Wednesday.

David Benke, a math teacher at Deer Creek, tacked him and pinned him to the ground with the help of another teacher.
