WEST LIBERTY, Ohio (AP) — The Latest on the shooting at an Ohio school that injured two students (all times local):
2:25 p.m.
A 17-year-old Ohio boy suspected of injuring two people in a school shooting has been charged in juvenile court with attempted murder and felonious assault.
Champaign County Prosecutor Kevin Talebi (tuh-LEE'-bee) confirmed Tuesday that other charges filed against the teen include inducing panic, improperly discharging a weapon at or into a school safety zone and illegal conveyance or possession of a deadly weapon in a school safety zone. Talebi says his office also has filed a motion to transfer the case to adult court.
A message was left Tuesday for the teen's attorney, Michael Pentecost. Pentecost told the Springfield News-Sun he can't discuss his client's mental condition or possible motives.
Authorities say the teen fired a 12-gauge shotgun Friday at a high school in West Liberty.
