(Reuters) - A 16-year-old student set himself on fire in the cafeteria of a high school in a Denver suburb on Monday in front of horrified classmates in what police said was an apparent suicide attempt. Investigators were examining a note the teenager posted online before the incident at Standley Lake High School in Westminster, Colorado, a police spokeswoman said. The youth, who was not publicly identified, walked into the cafeteria around 7 a.m. (1400 GMT) and lit himself on fire, before a school custodian grabbed a fire extinguisher and quickly doused the flames, police said in a statement. A teacher who was also in the cafeteria suffered a minor cut to her hand during the incident when she broke glass to get at the extinguisher, police spokeswoman Cheri Spottke said.</p><br clear="all"/>
