![The gunman in the Ohio school shooting, T.J. Lane, showed up in court Wednesday, two days after the incident, which killed three and injured two. The prosecutor, David Joyce, emphasized in his statement that the shooting was the work of a disturbed person. “This is not about bullying. This is not about drugs. This is someone who is not well,” Joyce said. “[Lane] confessed to taking the pistol and admitted he went into the cafeteria and shot 10 rounds. [He said he] did not know the students, but chose them randomly.” (photo by Mark Duncan/AP; edit to correct quote)](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m05vnsE2sb1qas8z9o1_500.jpg)

» The shooting took place in the school’s cafeteria: The shooting in Chardon, a small community 30 miles outside of Cleveland, took place before classes started for the day. The 17-year-old gunman was apprehended within an hour of the shooting. Ohio Gov. John Kasich praised the district’s quick handling of the situation, which involved campus lockdowns and returning students home before they got to school: ”Please join me in praying for the students who’ve been injured in this horrible crime,” Kasich said. “Praise goes to the Chardon Police and Geauga County Sheriff’s office for quickly getting this situation under control. I’ve pledged Ohio’s full support to them, the school and the local community in this difficult time.” (EDIT: Updated death toll)
