One student has died following the shooting today at Chardon High School. Four others remain hospitalized. A 17-year old boy and an 18-year old girl are listed in serious condition at Hillcrest Hospital. The condition of the other two wounded students, who are hospitalized at Metrohealth, is unknown.

A single suspect is in custody. He is a juvenile, a student at the high school, and has not yet been charged. The shooting took place shortly after 7:30 this morning.

The suspect was chased out of the building by a teacher following the shooting. He was taken into custody a short time later. School has been cancelled in Chardon for tomorrow. A prayer vigil for the victims will be held tomorrow evening at 7:00 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Chardon.

A terrible tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with each family of the victims, the Lane family plus the community of Chardon. May we reach out to each other to show our support during this very difficult time and remember to pray for the two other tragedies recently amongst young people closer to the Cleveland community on the Eastside. Our young people are the “future”. May we not let them destroy each other and remind them to speak up if they see one of their classmates is hurting somehow.
