CBS affiliate WOIO-TV in Cleveland reports the shootings happened in the cafeteria before classes started for the day.

WOIO-TV reports the high school was evacuated and students were taken to an elementary school to be picked up by their parents. Students on school buses were dropped off back at their homes. A spokeswoman for Cleveland’s MetroHealth System said a medical helicopter was dispatched to the high school. Schools in the area were locked down. Bob Herp, a Chardon trauma nurse, was at a command scene at a local Wal-Mart store where he said helicopters were on the ground. Chardon is a city of about 5,100 residents”.
