   A ninth grader at Chardon High School, is hugged by his mother
   following a shooting at his school, Feb 27, 2012.

   One student has been shot and killed and four others wounded by a
   gunman, also a student, at a high school in the U.S. state of Ohio.
   The Geauga County Sheriff says the shooting occurred in the cafeteria
   before classes opened at Chardon High School, about 50 kilometers east
   of Cleveland. Deputies say the suspect is in custody.
   The injured students were taken to two area hospitals, where one later
   died. There is no word about the medical condition of the other four
   students.
   Chardon Schools Superintendent Joseph Bergant said the rest of the
   1,100 students are safe.
