Other weapons out there. so i m sure they re on their way to his home, interview his parents and some of his family and friends. martha, i grew up right in cleveland and we used to hang out when i was young in chardon all the time. chardon has changed a lot too. chardon used to be area very upscale and well to do and it is a pretty nice area. but the thing is chardon is so close to cleveland that you have so much traffic from the city of cleveland going back and forth to chardon. i m not really totally surprised this has happened out here. the main thing we have to look at now from a law enforcement perspective what prompted this shooting and are there any other victims out there maybe we haven t even found out about, not necessarily at the school but maybe somewhere else? the police are very involved in this right now. it is a fluid investigation. martha: that is really good point you bring up at the end there, rod, the possibility there may have been other events involved in this. wh ....
Be in critical condition. one in stable. four of them, three boys and one girl, according to the early reports that we re getting were helicoptered out of the area and to a local hospital. we ve spoken with a reporter on the ground there who first got word of this. then we started to hear of text messages because this is way so much gets communicated these days, coming out to students explaining to their parents what was happening in there. a lot of discussion whether or not there was one shooter or two. we do know one shooter is in custody at this time. they do believe the situation is stable. they don t appear to be searching for a second person. they apprehended one other person running away from the school, we don t know for sure whether or not that person was accomplice but there was some discussion that this morning as well. bill: you mentioned the s.w.a.t. team. we also get this from the fbi spokeswoman out of ohio says the fbi is also on that scene, rather the scene of the shoo ....
They can justify it was not two shooters, and that s the reason we see the police doing the sweep of the area, the entire area, and the school. so they are going to utilize the statements from the individual students as to what they saw. unfortunately, in these types of situation, there s so much pandemonium, folks just running all over the place, there s so much chaos, sometimes the information can become a bit but at the same time, the police are going to still take all of that information and work that information as if it s accurate. martha: thank you. they ve also got that suspect in custody and are grilling him no doubt to figure out whether or not he was working with anybody. rod, thank you. stand by for us. we appreciate having you with us this morning. bill: and the akron beacon journal says two students taken by helicopter, so clearly they re the most serious, two others apparently taken to metro health hospital by way of ambulance, and teresa hunt, the one we talked to, sa ....
From what my source tells me whether or not there was one, two or maybe three shooter, so that s why they started circling the area. if you noticed earlier martha, the fbi helicopter was up, because they wanted to make sure there wasn t another gunman out there. they have the one guy in custody but they had to make sure there wasn t another guy out there. that s why they re still doing a sweep of the building and the entire area right now. martha: rod, what i m curious about, you see the families reuniting with the students, but the students are the best witnesses they have as to who the shooters are. if they are students, these students will know that and they ll say there were two, as this mother that bill just spoke to that was waiting on the front porch, she said no, my daughter shed there were two, and the high school is large but not that large. kids know each other. so what do you think the procedure is for the police getting as much as they can out of these kids while their mem ....
Are all safe. parents being told to go pick them up at maple elementary school nearby. bill: put yourself in the mind of those parents, martha. you re rushing to the school to embrace your daughter or your son after a moment like this. martha: kind of thing you heard happening at other schools across the country over the years but i can only imagine what it is like for the parents. you see cars all lined up as they rush over there. as we said, 8:15 in the morning. waiting for first period. some kids get early breakfast for school. that is when all hell broke loose according to early reports. we don t know condition of these children at this point. four were shot according to the reports taken to the hospital. they were flown out from a wal-mart parking lot in the area to the closest hospital they could find. we re are working to learn their conditions. shane french. talking to us right now from a radio station in cleveland. shane, welcome. what can you add to what we re talking about h ....
