Teen Gunman Killed After Cleveland School Shooting Spree

Here we go again with another "odd" student, as he was described.

Report: Teen gunman killed after shooting spree in school
A 14-year-old gunman shot students and teachers at a Cleveland high school, wounding four, and was then killed, the mayor told CNN affiliates WOIO and WKYC.

The shooting victims include two adult men, 57 and 42 years old; and two teenage males, 17 and 14 years old, according to Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson. A 14-year-old female hurt her knee in the chaos, he added.

Two students were taken to hospitals, said Andrea Jackson, press secretary for Cleveland's mayor.

One was taken out of the school on a stretcher but was conscious.

The teens are in "stable" condition, according to Jackson. He described the adults' conditions as "slightly elevated" above that of the students.

Witnesses told WKYC that the 14-year-old gunman was upset about being suspended for fighting earlier this week. He came to the school Wednesday with a gun in each hand and began firing.

Students said they took cover in closets after the school principal announced a "Code Blue" on the intercom.

The gunman was described by fellow students as "odd."

SuccessTech is a nontraditional high school, according to local school officials.

"Since it is a specialty school," it doesn't have "the typical population of a large high school," said Lisa Matthews of the superintendent's office.
