>> two students shot and four others injured after a local stud open fire in a cafeteria. frantsic parents rushed to the scene. we're learning more about a shooting in madison senior high school. >> and first responders rushed to the school around 11:20 this morning. cameron smith and 14-year-old cooper caffery were shot. they are in stable condition at miami valley hospital.

doesette were both hurt by slap nell. this is live picture, and we'll bring it to you as soon as we begin. >> and larry davis, talking with parents, students and investigators. what could you tell us. >> about half a mile, quarter of a mile from the senior junior high school in madison township. earlier today, there was a long line of cars, going up the road. a long line of parents who are walking to pick up. it happened around 11:20 during the 8th grade lunch period. as mentioned, there were a number of parents showing up at the school. hundreds of them, after they

madison senior high school. number of them drove a good distance to get here. not knowing exactly what happened. and some not knowing whether their children were okay. richard jones said the gunman walked into the cafeteria and opened fire. we talked to one student who described the gunfire. >> i was going through the library to get the paper. library is next to the cafeteria. i started walking out of the library. we ran out and ran to the library. >> heard three loud sounds, banging or something. me anything. i thought it was gunfire. >> and sheer terror for some of

as you may expect. there were number of hugs and tears expressed here at the school. let's go to the hamilton and. first call went out at 11:15 a.m. there was a shooting in the school. there was an active shooter at that point. two victims that were shot, had camera on smith, age 15. cooper cafferty, age 14. those two people were shot. next two people, the way we understand it, they were injured either by shrapnel from the

away from the active shooter. grant murray, katherine duset, age 14. the victim, these are the four victims. it appears at this point, that the victims are all in stable condition as we speak. the suspect, james austin,

shot in the thigh and back side. the other student shot in the left arm. both are expected to recover fully. two others received shrapnel from either the handgun or getting away from the handgun. we now know the name of the suspect. 14-year-old, james austin cook, who we know, is going to be charged with two counts of attempted murder. he ran out and dropped his gun and was taken to custody shortly after the shooting. we'll get you back to the live shot as soon as we possibly can. >> apparently it happened in the junior high lunch period. i think they shared the same cafeteria in the senior high school students. it was the junior high. >> it was 1600 in all, from pre-k all the way to the high

>> he was apprehended on top of the hill. he was arrested at that point. he was in juvenile at that point. it was up to the court system, where the weapon came from. it does appear he had his weapon in the first part of the morning in the school with him. where the weapon was, we do not know at this point, or we cannot release at this point. the crime scene is a large crime scene. and it takes time to get the crime scene worked, photographed. the detective, the sheriff's office, the response was great. naturally, when this kind of thing happened, it affects all the schools for the rest of the district and outside the district. i've had calls of schools not even in the county, that are either in locked down or nervous

and police officers were called to the schools. in other jurisdictions also. when these happened, the shootings, there's more than one shooter. there's a gun in the locker. and when we first get to the scene, with trying to review the information, it's coming in very rapidly. and then we have the parents, that naturally want to get their kids out of school and to see if they are safe. so there was one shooter.

i can't list them all. there was so many. i will take questions at this time. we also met with the school today, before i left the school. myself and chief dwyer and major craft, we met with the school teachers, school administrators and we had a debriefing of what took place. for them to prepare, that will be up to the schools, how they handle as far as debriefing, working with the parents, working with the kids in the schools. again, it's a pretty traumatic experience. imagine being in a cafeteria when you were growing up and you were in school and you are eating lunch. then all of a sudden, there's an active shooter. everything you seen in school, seen in the news and you prepare for it, you train your kids for

window, when the first shot is fired. you just think it can't happen. then you'll be a parent at home and you get the call. you get the notice. you get there very quickly. we understand. it was organized to the best of the situation, in a situation like this. i will take questions. some things i can't answer. i will tell you if i can. we will have the information handed out to you, so you don't

efforts, first perimeter fed up and was found in the area, stood up. >> something to repeat >> this is chief dwyer. >> when the call went out, obviously, multiple units responded. he was tending to the victims, waiting for the squads to come. they set a perimeter in the school to contain.

we had to do a second search, to make sure it wasn't another shooter or anyone injured. we had the media and parent. the social media, quick response, parents come straight to the school. you don't want to have a parent deal with the active shooter. once we had that under control, was when we were able to move the stud back to their parents. >> it went pretty good, as far as getting the parents hooked up with their kids. i imagine, when you hear this and see this, we had a couple of employees, who also had kids in the school. one of the captains, multiple kids, more than one. imagine when you get there. all the parents, we all understand that. this investigation is all fluid right now. juvenile shooter and as far as the motive goes, we hear lots of rumors. we are trying to work on the motive.

materializes. couple more questions. >> yes, ma'am. >> it appears, it was a 380. when i say it appears. it appears that way by look. further examination and will make a determination. the question, how many bullets. we don't have an exact number yet. the shooter told us, he shot so many times. we found more caseings than that. it appears, it's a semi automatic weapon. when you pull the trigger, you're 14-year-old, maybe you don't know how many times you're shooting the weapon. one more question over here. >> we have an idea. we're working on that as we speak.

response. we've been training for the response, to the school shootings sadly to say for years. the school has been training how to respond to the shootings for years. you respond and it's a muscle memory. the school is closed down. they have certain alarm systems that go off, that teachers know what to do. how they train, what the students actually know what to do. and it's like fire drill. now us and law enforcement, we know we have to respond better first. if the shooter is it still shooting and still in the school, we have a response to go immediately. the shooter left the school. we had an opportunity to attend to those that was shot. in an active shooter that was still in the schools.

to work on stopping the act of shooter. it's muscle memory am we've been training for years. it's still, when you get hit like that, it's all -- goes out the window. and the muscle memory kicks in. it's a pretty good respond. it's a great respond. very satisfied with all of our response people and the law enforcement. the medical people that were there. everybody, this is a community where everybody knows everybody. everybody has family and friends that go to the school. then we have to get to a certain area. get them, parents who are there and others in the bus, and those that don't get picked up. we have to figure out how to get home. we have to sl a skriem scene and work on this activity. i'll take a couple more questions. >> gunman was just thrown as he was.

>> standoff, not at this time. >> were the kids tartar getted. >> we can't release the information at this point. were they targeted. were they random. at this point, we know the victims that were shot. we don't know or can't release the reason why at this point how to respond, from a personal standpoint. when you get it all. . >> and what's going through my mind, as a sheriff, . >> throat swells up and you start -- and you start thinking,

it's a terrible feeling. imagine the deputies that are getting the call. what are they going to be seeing what they are trained for. it's something that kicks in. that's why they are professionals. we decompress days after. imagine not knowing, if they have to shoot someone in the school, another student with a gun. is it your family, your friends, your community. what you see on tv. ? it's pretty tough. to this day, it seems as though there's more school shootings. more school shootings. there's police officers being shot. it's the times we live and you have to prepare and train for that. one more question and we'll have another one.

14-year-old. i have to assume he may not have had a plan. >> i'm assuming that. >> we know why he fled the mr. ing, but we will not release that. >> we have like eight questions. go ahead. >> you have other -- >> no, that was the only weapon found. there's always rumors, more weapons, more shooters. escalated all over the country. at the same time, they are shot, and are there more? teachers, witnesses and where is the student. >> you need to talk to the family. we have to -- for the family to go to.

and that's the press conference at this time. i appreciate ya'll showing up and helping to get the word out. any information, spelling and things like that, there will be someone. >> and sheriff jones with his life press conference, after the shooting, four students injured at 11:20 a.m., madison junior high school. a school that houses about 1600 students. students: the great news, there's no one dead. we believe those two students who were shot are going to make a full recovery. other students dents are injured with shrapnel. >> 14-year-old 8th grader is at the center. his name is james austin hancock.

it was a lunch for the junior high students. say handgun. not a long gun, handgun. charged with two counts of attempted murder much two counts of felonious assault, inducing panic and making terroristic threat. apparently he was saying something before the shots were fid. >> sheriff says they believe they have a handle on what the . >> good news, he did fwlee. he left the gun on the ground. immediately. all the parents have the kids back home, safe and sound. we will continue to bring you more coverage. stay with local 12 and local12.com.

. and how local business leaders train for cases like this. >> that training, to prepare students and educators. violence, i think it's important to say at this point as well, that everybody involved in that school and with the police department and as he said, both with local and federal and state, acted exactly the way they were supposed to. that's the good news. we come out without the loss of life life. >> they were notified quite frankly too. the weather was lovely. it's really been so -- >> and away from it. at least, there was sun out. to brighten some spirits spirits.

and we have rain on the way tomorrow. forecast calls for temperatures falling in the 40s. we'll have a mostly clear sky. : we're fair game for at least spotty showers and thunderstorms, at any point tomorrow morning. the coverage and intensity of the rain and storms will pick up

the school around 11:20 this morning. 15-year-old cameron smith and cooper cafferty were shot, in stable condition. brant murray and katherine, both 14. >> you've been talking about this for weeks. sadly, everybody needs training. friday, we brought you a look, schools and job sites, to minimize the damage done by active killers. one thing is especially tough, the fact that alleged shooter is just 14-year-old. >> as soon as the shooting started, the schools went into lock-down mode as they have been trained to do.

done in situations like this. if people have the right training. friday, we showed you how we were trained in a class conducted by the workplace unit. the training teaches people whatever they can to combat an active shooter. we're told to use tables and desks. throw anything you can. if you can't run, attack. mantra, rub, hide, fight. i went back on the madison shooting and found the training and precautions do not change. even if the shooter is 14-year-old. >> unfortunately, for the innocent, teachers, administrators, custodian, and other students. for responder officers, it's someone who is trained to take lives.

and transported as quickly as possible >> now ironically one of the first grade teachers of madison is the wife of cannotel, the innocent part of the active shooter program. and the founder of cincinnati safety at madison state. he was trying to reach his wife when the shooter came about >> and we told you earlier, we're extremely fortunate, no one died from the shooting. from what you could tell, on this early, everybody performed pretty well with the training at this point? >> it sounds like the locked down drills they have done there, paid off. the issue of how well they really perform, depends on how much they actually have been trained and how much training people could or should go over. and that's all going to show up

they will evaluate what happened, how they responded. they will look at it as law enforcement and see what did we do; right? how much better could we be in the future, if god forbid, this happened. >> they are in the same koment plex. a third grader, looked at the photographers and reporters, we had training. 3rd grade. they are getting that >> how much better could that? >> real look forward to that. we will provide that for you as rich continues his report. >> local12.com. and local 12 has six reporters to give you the latest information. adam is at the school all day long and he gives us this report as well. >> it's difficult to put into words how things felt this morning. it was very tense.
