5 people injured at school shooting in Ohio. Suspect is apparently in custody.

The shooting occurred at the cafeteria of Chardon High School around 7:45 a.m. Chardon Local schools Community Coordinator Ellen Ondrey said the district is in “crisis mode.” Bus runs for elementary schools have stopped, all classes for the district have been canceled, arrangements to get middle and high school students home are being arranged, the Chardon Police Department remains at the scene and that the school remains on lockdown.

A parent of a student in the cafeteria told Cleveland’s WJW-TV his child heard five shots. CNN reports a teacher chased the suspect out of the cafeteria and that law enforcement officials captured the suspect walking down a road near the school. The wounded students were from another school in nearby Auburn waiting for a bus when they were shot.
