CHARDON, Ohio (AP) — An FBI spokeswoman says five students were injured when a shooter described as a classmate opened fire at an Ohio high school.
Parents walk past Chardon Middle School with students in Chardon, Ohio, this morning. The school released students to their parents after a gunman opened fire inside the nearby high school's cafeteria at the start of the school day Monday, wounding four students, officials said.
Special Agent Vicki Anderson said Monday the shooter was taken into custody near his car about half a mile away from the high school.
A spokeswoman for the Cleveland Clinic says two students were taken to the clinic's Hillcrest Hospital in suburban Cleveland.
A spokeswoman for the Cleveland MetroHealth System says an additional three students were taken to the Cleveland hospital.
There was no word on the extent of injuries.
Keep in mind that many of our illustrious, rational, high school administrators, in Montana ----- talked the legislature """"out""" of having a "No Bully Law." ------- just a short time ago.
Now we are one of only 4 or 5 states without a bully law on the books.
If it's due to long term bullying then one has a hard time blaming the shooters if their fear and depression has reached terminal velocity.
They have to go to school or drop out and common sense dictates that we have a new law: No Bully Left Behind. Three bullying incidents and you are out of school for one year. period.
It's kind of like a neighbor with a vicious dog that keeps biting the neighbor kids. It has to go. A bully is no different than a vicious dog. If they aren't stopped they keep going until they either end up in prison anyway or kill someone later on.
