Cleveland: Classes Cancelled after Violent School Shooting:
By now I’m sure you’ve heard about the shooting at SuccessTech Academy in Cleveland, Ohio. What is known so far is that a 14-year-old gunman armed with two handguns shot 5 people at the school. Two were faculty and three were students.
According to Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson the victims are as follows:
1. A 14-year-old female sustained an injury to the knee.
2. A 14-year-old male sustained a gun shot wound to the side and was transported to Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital
3. A 17-year-old male sustained a gun shot wound to the elbow and was transported to Metro Health Hospital.
4. A 42-year-old male sustained a gun shot wound to the chest and was transported to Metro Health Hospital.
5. A 57-year-old male sustained a gun shot wound to the back and was also transported to Metro Health Hospital.
Luckily all the victims are expected to recover. The gunman, not so much. Multiple news outlets are reporting that the gunman took the cowards way out by taking his own life. I’ve seen reports that the gunman was suspended earlier in the week for fighting.
The description of the shooter is taken right out of the school shooters handbook…
We are also getting new information on the shooter – he is a white male described as goth and was wearing a Marilyn Manson t-shirt with black fingernails.
The school itself is described as a non-traditional school with a very stringent admissions process.
Even though it’s been a few hours since the shooting any of this information may change as more details become available.
