CHARDON, Ohio -- A sheriff's office is confirming a shooting at a northeastern Ohio high school.

Civil deputy Erin Knife with the Geauga County Sheriff's Office says the shooting was reported around 7:30 a.m. Monday at Chardon High School.

Knife says she doesn't have the number of victims yet, and says a single person suspected in the shooting has left the school but is not in custody.

Schools in the area are locked down.

Chardon is about 30 miles east of Cleveland.

started!
See, now if I really wanted to skirt the line  
Wuphat : 2/27/2012 10:25 am : link
I'd post something like:

"I'd let her take a shot"

But I'm not going to do that.
wow

It still staggers me that there was much hand wringing here when that piece of shit Chris Henry bought the farm while trying to assault his girlfriend.
Wuphat's always been

on target as well.
The BBI sensitivity police  
RB^2 : 2/27/2012 10:51 am : link
will certainly have us in their sights now.
enough already  
Greg from LI : 2/27/2012 10:51 am : link
There's already been enough sniping on this thread
You guys are just taking a scattershot  
Some Fan : 2/27/2012 10:57 am : link
approach to these puns
Some people are just gun shy  
Wuphat : 2/27/2012 11:02 am : link
and don't want to be seen as going off half-cocked or as a loose cannon.

However, I will bite the bullet, no matter what these sensitive sons of guns have to say. I'm locked and loaded and do not intend to shoot myself in the foot.

While some may see it as shooting from the hip, or jumping the gun, or maybe that we're trigger happy, I would suggest that they not shoot the messenger.
And if anyone else would like to criticize the puns  
Wuphat : 2/27/2012 11:03 am : link
Fire away.
After that post, I have no puns  
Some Fan : 2/27/2012 11:08 am : link
left in the chamber
Yeah, I think I'm out of ammo  
Wuphat : 2/27/2012 11:09 am : link
and shooting blanks.
that's ok  
Greg from LI : 2/27/2012 11:11 am : link

Well played.

Greg from LI : 2/27/2012 11:17 am : link
Why Ohio?
I am glad BBI is online and not in a room  
mjt832 : 2/27/2012 11:17 am : link

I am not going to take a shot at a pun.

Wuphat  
RB^2 : 2/27/2012 11:26 am : link
really fired off his load and emptied the clip on that one. We're getting some real rapid fire responses here.
Kent State?  
Greg from LI : 2/27/2012 11:49 am : link
There have been a few other incidents at schools outside of Ohio since 1970, I'd wager.
Yes, there have been, but  
Wuphat : 2/27/2012 11:53 am : link
Rob was calling back to that, that's all.

If it happened in Austin, he'd have been able to do the same thing.
eh  
Greg from LI : 2/27/2012 11:56 am : link
Only in Ohio would only work if an infantry platoon started clearing the classrooms with gunfire.
Bunch of amateurs here....  
Britt in VA : 2/27/2012 11:56 am : link
I thought for sure there'd be a NFT: "My child was just shot at school, what should I do? thread" by now.

In all seriousness, though. Any updates on the wounded?
Nothing new that I've seen  
Greg from LI : 2/27/2012 11:57 am : link
5 wounded, 3 critical
Sad.  
Britt in VA : 2/27/2012 11:59 am : link
Hope they all pull through.
This thread has been more fun than a double barrel full of monkeys.

looking at his surroundings, I'd say the kid was in some pretty dreary location. Bare walls, metal frame institutional style bed......very small room. Almost like he was in a dormitory for troubled youth.

JMHO.
Where did you see his surroundings?

pretty sure he's drawing some conclusions based on the pictures above.

Perhaps this is yankfan?

Ahhh...Thanks,

some pics are blocked at work, so I can't even tell there are supposed to be pictures....

Apparently, it's always the nice quiet kids. From CNN:

Quote:
[Updated 1:19 p.m. ET] A student at Chardon High School said that T.J. Lane, the suspect in Monday's shooting, "was a nice guy" who he never suspected would shoot anyone.

He just came from a really broken down home and he was living with his grandparents," Evan Erasmus, a senior at the school told CNN. "He was more of a quiet type of kid. He was really nice, though, if you did talk to him.

Erasmus said that Lane and some of the victims "used to be friends" but more in middle school and early high school.

He was one of the nicest kids there," Erasmus said. "It was really shocking that it was him.

Erasmus told CNN that he believed T.J. Lane was either a sophomore or junior at the school.

He said that Lane was sitting about a table away from some of the victims.

Erasmus said he heard the victims "were all sitting there and then he just stood up and thats when it all started."

Meanwhile, he and the other students in a nearby classroom, "turned the lights off and we headed into a corner" after the shooting.
Gotch

There's pics of a kid in a green trench coat in a sparse room holding up what looks like a knife, then 2 guns, then a sign dated yesterday.
Ah...are those the supposed twitter pictures?
