The Plain Dealer in Cleveland is reporting at least four students have been injured in a shooting this morning at Chardon High School.

The Chardon Local School District is located 30 miles east of Cleveland in Geauga County.

According to www.cleveland.com, "Multiple reports say that one suspect was arrested and police are searching for at least one other person.  The boy who is in custody is being processed at the Geauga County Sheriff's office."

A Geauga County Sheriff's spokesman confirmed there had been a shooting in the school, but would give no details.

Governor John R. Kasich issued the following statement this morning in response to the shooting at Chardon High School:

“Please join me in praying for the students who’ve been injured in this horrible crime. Praise goes to the Chardon Police and Geauga County Sheriff’s office for quickly getting this situation under control.
