UPDATED 12:16pm: Ohio high school in lockdown after shooting, one of four wounded has died

By Daniel S Levine,

UPDATE 12:16pm - One of the injured students has died from injuries.

The Associated Press reports that Police Chief Timothy McKenna confirmed this at a news conference. Names are not being released since the students are minors.

UPDATE: Four students are injured and one suspect is in custody.

A high school in northeastern Ohio is currently under a lock down after a shooting. The exact number of victims is unknown at this point.

Civil deputy Erin Knife with the Geauga County Sheriff's Office told The Associated Press that a shooting was reported at Chardon High School at 7:30 a.m. Monday morning.

According to Fox News, WJW-TV had initially reported that at least two students were shot. However, a local official told The Plain Dealer that three boys and one girl have been injured and four ambulances from four local hospitals were waiting for them at the school.

Mother Darlene Judd told the Plain Dealer that she heard that her two sons are OK, but is still worried for others. She called Chardon, which is about 30 miles east of Cleveland, a “tight-nit community,” adding that, “Everybody knows everybody; everybody cares for everybody. Even though it's not your kid down, someone else's is." Another parent told the publication that the shooting happened in the cafeteria, but Newscore notes that that has not been confirmed by officials.

At this moment, the school is still in lockdown.
