The lone female victim of the shootings at Chardon High School on Monday was released from Hillcrest Hospital on Tuesday. During a press conference, Chardon Police Chief Tim McKenna said that Joy Rickers, 18, had received treatment at Hillcrest for approximately 24 hours.

Rickers was one of five students shot inside the school cafeteria around 7:30am Monday morning, when a gunman fired ten rounds with his .22-caliber pistol.

Three of the students have died from their injuries, a fourth student remains hospitalized.

T.J. Lane, the accused shooter, was arrested and will remain in juvenile detention for the next fifteen days. Charges are expected to be filed by March 1.

According to a new CNN report, the alleged gunman from Monday's fatal shootings at Chardon High School fired at least six shots from a .22-caliber pistol.

The weapon was recovered from inside the school after it was dropped by the shooter. A law enforcement source revealed to CNN that the weapon used usually holds a clip that can contain between 6 to 10 rounds of ammunition.

T.J. Lane, the alleged shooter, is due to appear before a Geagua County Juvenile Court Judge on Tuesday at 3:30pm. He stands accused of shooting five students in the school cafeteria on Monday morning. Three of the students shot have now died, with another two still hospitalized. Lane was the only person arrested in connection with the shootings.

A third student shot at Chardon High School on Monday has passed away. According to a MetroHealth System spokesperson, Demetrius Hewlin has died.

Hewlin's family released a statement just before 1pm on Tuesday:

"We are very saddened by the loss of our son and others in our Chardon community. Demetrius was a happy young man who loved life and his family and friends. We will miss him very much but we are proud that he will be able to help others through organ donation. We ask that you respect our privacy during this difficult time."

Chardon Police Chief Tim McKenna said during a Tuesday morning press conference that 17-year-old Russell King Jr. died just before 5am. He had been airlifted to MetroHealth Medical Center after the attack. Daniel Parmentor, 16, also died a few hours after the shooting.

Police still have not officially named the suspect, who is in custody, but students and witnesses have identified him as 17-year-old T.J. Lane. The suspect opened fire in the cafeteria of Chardon High School around 7:3am on Monday.

Two more students remain hospitalized at Hillcrest Hospital.

The suspect will be arraigned in Geauga County Juvenile Court at 3:30pm today.

A teenager opened fire on students eating breakfast in the cafeteria of Chardon High School early Monday morning. Two have died, and another three remain hospitalized. Now we have learned that the teen suspected of perpetrating the attacks isn't event a student at Chardon, and instead is a student at a school for at-risk youth.

The suspect was captured about a mile away from the school, after having been chased out by two teachers. According to a witness, it appeared that the gunman targeted a group of students sitting together.

FBI officials have not commented on a motive. The suspect's name has not been officially released because he is a juvenile, but the suspect has been identified by witnesses and the Plain Dealer as being T.J. Lane.

According to an education official, the suspected shooter is not a student at Chardon High School. Rather, he is a student at Lake Academy, an alternative school in Willoughby that serves 7th through 12th grades. Students at the school may have been referred there due to academic or behavioral problems.

T.J. Lane, a student described as an "outcast" by his peers, allegedly opened fire on his Chardon High School classmates early Monday morning. Two of the five students shot have died, and Lane was apprehended by authorities shortly after the shooting.

Authorities haven't released the name of the gunman because he is a juvenile and has yet to be charged, but the student was identified by the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Witnesses have identified the shooter as Lane.

The shooter allegedly opened fire around 7:30am in the school's cafeteria. Students and teachers barricaded themselves in classrooms, and the school was immediately placed on lockdown. Two teachers were said to have chased the gunman out of the high school, which is located about 30 miles from Cleveland. He was arrested one mile from the school.

Victims were found in three different locations inside the school. This suggests that the shooter may have targeted and pursued specific students.

Three victims were taken to MetroHealth Medical Center. Daniel Parmentor, 16, a junior, died from his injuries. 19 Action News reports that a second victim died at Metro around 6:45pm. The third shooting victim at Metro is listed in critical condition.

Around 7:30am on Monday morning, a gunman opened fire inside Chardon High School's cafeteria, according to students who witnessed the incident. Geauga County Sheriff's investigators and Chardon police have apprehended one suspect, who had already fled the school when officers arrived on scene.

Some of the wounded were airlifted to local hospitals. Their conditions and the extent of their injuries were not revealed.

The shooter is believed to be a student.

Two Students Dead, Three Injured in Shooting at Chardon High School

Two Parma Heights bars were busted on Wednesday, accused of permitting illegal gambling inside their establishments. The raids, which were conducted in the afternoon, involved seven different law enforcement agencies and locations in five different cities.

Undercover agents from the Ohio Investigative Unit removed 80 computers, money, and financial records. Investigators raided Good Time Charlie's II on Pearl Rd. and Mr. B's on West 130th.

Julie Hinds, a spokesperson for the Ohio Investigative Unit, said:

"We did a long-term investigation ourselves and Parma Heights police and we found that the complaint was valid."

Cleveland Agent-in-Charge Greg Croft added:

"We were able to receive cash payouts at both locations. It was determined by our investigation that the machines in these premises were actually, in fact, gambling devices, not internet sweepstakes machines as claimed... there were several different gambling violations that were taking place."

Investigators also raided homes in Brunswick and Parma, as well as the Union Vending company in Cleveland.

With Craigslist related robberies on the rise, police in Milwaukee are offering to let people conduct their Craigslist transactions inside the police station. This offer has been extended in order to prevent robberies.

Milwaukee police came up with the idea after a huge uptick in robberies that occurred during the trade-off of goods sold on Craigslist. Officer Lisa Staffold explains:

"The media has deemed it 'robbery by appointment' because you're posting ads, you're selling your iPhones, your iPads, your vehicles, and when you go to a meeting location, you're being robbed."

Anyone who's sold stuff on Craigslist is familiar with being nervous about meeting up with the prospective buyer, or seller. Many people meet in public places, or invite buyers to their homes. A police station seems like the safest place, and perhaps more cities will soon start offering up their stations for Craigslist transactions as well.

A North Carolina man is currently in jail on a $17,500 bond after he allegedly tried to go shopping at Walmart with a million bill. Michael Fuller, 53, insisted that the one-million bill was real when attempting to buy $476 worth of items, including a microwave oven and a vacuum cleaner.

The largest bill in circulation in the United States is the $100. The U.S. government stopped printing notes up to $10,000 in 1969 because they were rarely used by the public. The largest bill to have ever been printed in the U.S. was the $100,000 bill that featured a picture of President Woodrow Wilson. They were printed between Dec. 18, 1934 and January 9, 1935, and were used only for transferring money between Federal Reserve banks.

Fuller has been charged with attempting to obtain property by false pretense and uttering a forged instrument. He is due to be in court on Tuesday.

The woman who made international headlines the day after Thanksgiving for pepper spraying her fellow Walmart shoppers who had the gall to try to get the same Xbox games that she wanted, is now considering suing the retailer.

Authorities say that 32-year-old Elizabeth Macias used the pepper spray to keep people away from the Xbox games that she was eying up, however, they concluded that there was not enough evidence to indict her on felony charges.

Macias now claims through her attorney that she was protecting her teenage son and daughter, who she says were being punched and kicked by others. She says that Walmart is at fault because they did not provide more security, and says that her children were "traumatized."
