Everything with Mr. Popz

CLEVELAND — Police said a gunman who opened fire at a Cleveland school Wednesday is dead and it appears that he shot himself, WEWS-TV reported. Officials said the 14-year-old boy shot two students and two adults at Success Tech School, a small non-traditional high school in downtown Cleveland. Police and neighbors have identified the shooter as Asa Coon.

Police said they were at the home on Monday evening for another incident and weapons were found inside, so the teen had access to weapons, WEWS reported. Neighbors described Coon as an angry young man who seemed short-tempered and ready to go off at any minute. Mayor Frank Jackson and school CEO Eugene Sanders held a new conference Wednesday afternoon to give updates on the conditions of the people who were injured. An 18-year-old, identified as Darnell Rodgers, was shot in the elbow and will be treated and released from MetroHealth. A 15-year-old boy was shot in the side and is in stable condition at Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital. A 57-year-old man, identified as David Kachadourian, is also in stable condition at Metro. A 42-year-old man underwent a surgery that lasted 90 minutes to 2 hours and is now listed in stable condition. His name hasn’t been released. A 16-year-old female student was also injured when she fell and hurt her leg during the chaos of the scene. She was treated at Rainbow and is expected to be released soon. Jackson said the families of all the victims have been notified and the school has been secured. Witnesses said the incident stemmed from an altercation between two students that took place on Tuesday. One of the students, who had been suspended from the school for fighting, returned on Wednesday with a gun and reportedly opened fire inside the building. Police said he then turned the gun on himself and was dead when police entered the building. Police believe the shooting took place on the fourth floor, which is where officers found the shooter’s body. The body of the shooter has been taken to the coroner’s office. Dozens of police cars were at the scene and the area was blocked off earlier in the afternoon. Some students were in the building at the time of the shooting and the school went into lockdown. Students were evacuated shortly afterward and reunited with their parents. Police conducted a floor to floor sweep of the school and counselors were at the scene to talk to the students who witnessed the traumatic event. Police are expected to give another briefing at 8 p.m. to give any updates they may have on the investigation.
