I used to work for a newspaper 3 blocks away from the school. I am not there any more, but I will get more information to you if I can.
Prayers for all involved.
It was a good school. My best friend went there; I went to WG but knew people from both schools. Ammo probably (if he is still here) knows them as well.
IT's a very tight area in terms of pop. density, so if you've been there, you'll know what I mean. The residents of the area are urged to lock up ASAP as the gunman is on the loose. Houses close together like in Mayfield.

Wow, hopefully those kids are ok.
I know a guy who is retired FBI. He pulled his kids out of a local high school a few years ago because that school system didn't have a very good evacuation plan in case of something like this.
Talking to him, he said the best thing to advise people to do is get the heck out. A lot of people want to lock themselves in classrooms, but he said if you have the opportunity to escape, you do it. Makes sense, but he said it was surprising how many plans are "lock the door and hope for the best" in essence.

Dear God. What makes people feel that going into a school and shooting kids (or anyone else, for that matter) is acceptable?
My prayers go out to all of the people that these animals terrorized and hurt.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a bully issue. I know how painful being bullied can be. But, never in a million years is this the type of response that's acceptable. I can't imagine ever feeling so low that I think that the only way to solve it is to start shooting people.

Grew up around that area, was born in Chardon and lived in Burton most of my childhood. I hope all the victims make it. It's a great quiet neighborhood you would of never have thought something like this would happen there, but they probably said the same thing about Columbine.

I agree - but I'd add my thoughts and prayers to the parent/s of the kid that did it as well.

my best friend's father supposedly chased the shooter away. It is sad, because up to this point it had truly been seen as a safe place on earth, a piece of heaven. Our family moved to Geauga in 1990-this is not good news. the prayers should also be for the survivors--they have PTSD to deal with now because of this. The shooting happened in the cafeteria, and eventually they will have to go back to school and sit in that same place for the rest of the year before 1st period. My heart goes out to them.
I'm hoping some good can come of this--even if rival schools (Riverside, West G, the entire PAC) banded together to help them. That is what it should be about.

Man that's incredibly sad.
If there's one place you would expect that your kids would be safe, it's school.
My prayers go out to that child's parents and family.

I am at work and some of the sites are blocked; however, on twitter they have already named the suspect from a witness at the scene and provided a link to his facebook page.
They also say that this kid posted on his twitter account last night that he was going to shoot up the school today

BREAKING: Students hurt in shooting at Chardon High...
Chardon student identifies shooter in spree that killed one student Published: Monday, February 27, 2012, 12:17 PM Updated: Monday, February 27, 2012, 12:20 PM By Laura Johnston, The Plain Dealer The Plain Dealer
The Plain DealerNate Mueller talks outside Chardon High School.
CHARDON, Ohio -- A Chardon High School student died today after a shooting spree that left four others injured, police said.
High school Junior Nate Mueller, who was hit in the right ear, identified the shooter as T.J. Lane.
Mueller said he and his friends, including Russell King, Nick Walczak and Demetrius Hewlin, were sitting at their regular cafeteria table when T.J. approached about 7:30 a.m.
Nate said he heard a gunshot behind him. He turned and felt a sting on his ear.
"My friends were crawling on the floor, and one of my friends was bent over the table, and he was shot," Nate said. "It was almost like a firecracker went off. I turned around and saw him (T.J.) standing with a gun and I saw him take a shot."
Nate, who has a scratch on his upper right ear, said he ran out of the building, hid behind a car and called 911.
Nate said his group was friends with T.J. through middle school, but in high school, T.J. went separate way.
Russell, he said, had recently started dating T.J.'s ex-girlfriend, who is homeschooled.
"He was silent the whole time," said Nate, who was waiting for a bus to his culinary arts classes at Auburn Career Center. "That's what made it so random."
T.J., he said, normally waits for a bus that goes to Lake Academy, a school in Willoughby, which serves at-risk students.
Police have confirmed that there are five victims, and that the shooter is in custody.
A 17-year-old-boy and 18-year-old girl are in stable condition at Hillcrest Hospital, a spokeswoman said.

Definitely. They all have to be thinking that it could have been them.
Kids like to think that they are indestructible, so a horrible situation like this can really shake their whole world.
There are going to be a lot of really busy counselors.

my father will be very busy this week. My prayers go out to all.
1 dead, but the other 4 will probably survive. That's good news.
The big issue is the PTSD they will have to deal with for the rest of their lives.
God bless them all!

That's the way it seems to me, at least with the facts we have now.
If that's true, wow. I remember having my crushes in high school and having my heart broken by girls, but, again, never to the point that I thought this would be the way to solve it.

Well, maybe not a girlfriend issue?

CHARDON, Ohio -- MetroHealth Medical Center has named the Chardon High School student who died after this morning's school shooting.
Daniel Parmertor, 16, was one of three students flown to the hospital after the 7:30 a.m. shooting.
"We are shocked by this senseless tragedy," his parents said in a prepared statement. "Danny was a bright young boy who had a bright future ahead of him. The family is torn by this loss."

No kidding. You go from thinking about what to make for dinner that night to thinking about what to say in a statement to the papers on the murder of your child 
My heart goes out to them, this is horrible.

I guess we should change the title of this thread to Shooting at Chardon School...
I'm so sad about this. I mean, what problem in the name of all that is holy will shooting at and/or killing classmates solve.
I guess one or two of the teachers faced fire head on and managed to chase the shooter out of the building.. pretty damn scary

I feel nothing for the shooter - but I pray for all those involved from the victims to those just going about their day at school, for the parents, for those that actually do care about the shooter and the community as a whole.

I've been watching for that but haven't seen that report yet. Channel 3, WKYC is having a special at 10 pm this evening all about this,,maybe they'll say something then,., But, as of now, only one confirmed dead.. and frankly, that's one to many..

I certainly don't condone or accept what the shooter did, not in the least. I guess I'm just wondering what happened to drive him to such a dark place. Like I said, I can't imagine ever getting to the point where you think this is the only option available.
And, I feel for his parents, too. They lost a child today, too.
Just so sad all around.

To my knowledge every school shooter has been on SSRI anti-depressants. An unfortunate side effect for a small portion of people can be a rapid worsening of symptoms with psychotic breaks.
My guess is the shooter is a bullying victim who went on SSRIs and had a rare but terribly bad reaction to them.

Second student, Russell King Jr., dies after shooting rampage at Chardon High School
By: Mike Waterhouse, newsnet5.com CHARDON, Ohio - A second student has died after a shooting rampage at Chardon High School that ended with five shot and one under arrest.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office said 17-year-old Russell King Jr. died at MetroHealth Medical Center. Information about his death was released early Tuesday morning. King was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center, along with 16-year-old Daniel Parmertor, who was the first to die. One other shooting victim was taken to the same hospital and last reported to be in critical condition.
Two other victims taken to Hillcrest Hospital were a 17-year-old boy, who is in serious condition, and an 18-year-old girl, who is in stable condition, a hospital representative said Monday afternoon. Police said the gunman who opened up fire in the school early Monday turned himself in after a teacher apparently chased him out of the building.
Sources close to the investigation identified the suspect as 17-year-old TJ Lane. "Russell didn't move at all because I don't think he really knew," said Nate Mueller, who was at a cafeteria table with three of the victims. "That shot I saw TJ take as I turned around had hit Russell and he was over the table in like a puddle of blood."
"I heard three (shots). The initial one that made me look, the one that I believe hit either Russell or Demitrius and then the third one that hit me," said Mueller, whose ear was grazed by a bullet. No other names have been released.
