The school, which had practiced for such an event, immediately went into lockdown, said district spokeswoman A.J. The suspect apparently stood up, moved toward the door and then began shooting, said Chief Anthony Dwyer of the Butler County Sheriff’s Office.Īll other students were safe, according to the school website. One student who’d been injured hid and was later found by authorities looking for students, Jones said.Ī sheriff’s deputy stationed in the school had just been in the cafeteria, Jones said. “We don’t know if it was from the shooting or from exiting the school or because of the shrapnel from the bullets hitting into that small of an area,” Jones said. A 14-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl were also injured, though it was unclear how, Jones said. The students who were shot - ages 14 and 15 - were taken to a hospital where they were in stable condition, investigators said. “But my eyes found the children walking out looking for parents, and that was heartbreaking. “There is no feeling like that in the world,” she said. Her stepmother, Stephanie Kinnin, said it was unnerving to see emergency responders swarm the school. She recognized him as a boy who was in a class with her last year, though she wasn’t sure of his name. Many people ran from the scene, and the shooter went out a door, she said. “I didn’t really know it was gunshots until I looked over and a kid was grabbing his leg and falling over,” she said. Thirteen-year-old Shelby Kinnin said she heard “a couple of bangs” and realized she was near the shooter.

One student mistook the first shot for a potato chip bag being popped. Afterward, classmates described a chaotic scene where they weren’t sure what was happening at first.

Students were eating in the cafeteria when the shooting happened around 11:30 a.m., Jones said. The boy was charged preliminarily with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of felonious assault, inducing panic and making terrorist threats, Jones said. Jones said the 14-year-old was a student and there was a motive to the shooting which he did not identify. None of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening, said Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones. Two other Madison Local Schools students also were injured, possibly from shrapnel or while running away. HAMILTON (AP) - A 14-year-old boy pulled out a gun in a school cafeteria Monday and opened fire, hitting two students, and then ran from the school, threw the weapon down and was apprehended nearby with the help of a police dog, authorities said.
