This evening on the late night news there was coverage of a shooting at a high School in Cleveland. There were 5 injuries, and a suicide. I got the details from CNN.com:
(CNN) -- It was only after a crowd of screaming students ran past Darnell Rodgers in a stairway at his Cleveland, Ohio, high school Wednesday afternoon that he realized he had been shot.
"They were screaming, 'Oh my God! Oh my God,'" said Rodgers, a senior at SuccessTech Academy near downtown Cleveland.
Rodgers suddenly felt his arm "burning," he said, and realized he had been shot in the elbow. Police have started to piece together what happened.
At around 1:15 p.m. ET, 14-year-old gunman Asa Coon, who was a student at the school, walked the halls firing a gun in each hand, Cleveland Police Chief Michael McGrath said.
When it was all over, five people had been shot including Coon who police said killed himself in a classroom. At around 1:15 p.m. ET, 14-year-old gunman Asa Coon, who was a student at the school, walked the halls firing a gun in each hand, Cleveland Police Chief Michael McGrath said.

"We do not believe this was a random shooting," McGrath said.
"It may have been the teachers he went to the school looking for ... I believe they disciplined him in some manner."

One of the students injured by a teen gunman who went on to kill himself told Wednesday how he got shot. Five people were wounded in the shooting at a Cleveland high school. Police Chief Michael McGrath said he believes at least some of the victims were targeted. Coon had a previous arrest last year for a domestic violence incident and police had been to his home before for incidents that involved weapons, according to McGrath. Police searched the gunman's locker after the shooting and are watching surveillance footage of the school taken at the time of the shooting, he said.
Students said they took cover in closets after the school principal announced a "Code Blue" on the intercom.
Students described the gunman as being "odd"....
