A gunman burst into a the lunch room of an Ohio high school Monday morning and opened fire, wounding four students before officials caught him and put him in custody, investigators confirmed.
The shooting unfolded at Madison High School in Butler County. Investigators say the suspect is student-age but they’re not certain whether he attended that school. They did not name him.
Two students were hurt by gunshots and two others apparently by shrapnel, Butler County Chief Deputy Anthony Dwyer said.
The high school lifted its lockdown after the sheriff gave the all-clear. Parents were allowed to the high school to pick up their students.
“It was painful… hard to concentrate,” parent Ken Gairland said as he drove to the school.
At least one of the victims was shot in the leg. The other injuries appear to be more serious, but not life-threatening.
At least two AirCare helicopters flew to the school. “I just cleared the scene there and it is hectic,” Rodney Muterspaw, police chief of nearly Middletown, said.
Butler County is roughly 30 miles north of Cincinnati. The district has about 250 junior high and 500 high school students, according to enrollment estimates in Ohio Department of Education records.

“… the suspect is student-age but they’re not certain whether he attended that school. They did not name him.”
They did name him (well, actually his parents named him), and he did attend that school.
“Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said James Austin Hancock, 14, came into the school’s cafeteria and began firing at other students using a .380 caliber handgun at around 11:30 a.m.”
“This is a tragic and horrific event that you hope never happens,” said Sheriff Jones.”
Ramp up the rhetoric, pig.
Tragic and horrific would have been if anyone had been killed.
This may have been a real shooting because I didn’t hear the cries for gun confiscation yet.
A real shooter may have caught them by surprise, and without a scripted response prepared for them, the politicians don’t know how to react.
“Where does our party stand on school shootings? Are they good or bad? Is my page-boy safe?”
“At least two AirCare helicopters flew to the school.”
Two more than what flew to sandy hoax elementary school.
Much closer to reality than the 100% bs fiction THAT was!
