Four Wounded, One Dead in Ohio School Shooting

The top story for today has been a school shooting in Ohio. It seems as though one student has been confirmed to be dead, while four others are wounded.

The suspected gunman, believed to be a student, was chased out of the school by a teacher and later apprehended about a half mile away. Authorities have not released the juvenile's name because he has not been charged yet.

Two of the male victims are in critical condition, another male is in serious condition and one female is in stable condition, according to local media reports.

The deceased student was identified by a hospital spokeswoman as Daniel Parmertor. His family released a statement through MetroHealth System spokeswoman Shannon Mortland that said: "We are shocked by this senseless tragedy. Danny was a bright young boy who had a bright future ahead of him. The family is torn by this loss. We ask that you respect our privacy during this difficult time."

Dear heavens, I really hope we don't have to hear about how sad the shooter's life is. The last thing we need to focus on is who he was and all the "pain" he went through from people hurting his feelings. Lock him up, throw away the key. Sorry. I am sick of living in a culture where I'm supposed to dole out sympathy equally among everyone. Some people just do not deserve it.
