Usually when these school shootings occur there's things that come out later, warning signs, even sometimes social media posts actually detailing the shooter is going to do something. I haven't seen this reported about this school shooting yet. The most the local TV station could report was an interview they did with the suspect after he allegedly won a school wrestling contest last week, seemed like a pretty normal teenager at the time. I wonder what the motivation was for the shooting?

After speaking with law enforcement initial investigation shows no warning signs nor any evidence this was planned well in advance.

The Cole family has been sharing Logan's status on FB. He has several dozen pellets still in him, including at least two in his spine and one in his heart. Infection is one of the biggest concerns.
Prayers appreciated.
Classes are back in session today. Lots of hugs there.

I talked to a classmate of the shooter yesterday and a fellow wrestling team member. Said he is a nice, normal guy at school..
Heard more around here but not wanting to spread things that could just be speculation or gossip.
Have to see what comes out later

Dave Shooter,
I have friends with kids at WLS and have been praying since the beginning. I was just surprised that I didn't see a post on here. I have friends who knew the shooter when he was younger. Just very sad all the way around. Still can't believe something like this happened a few miles up the road. Unfortunately proves my point to my non-gun friendly friends that bad things can happen anywhere.

The news media needs to reduce it's coverage now and let the community heal. Too much time is still spent on the evening news covering this.

Thanks Hillbilly!
The shooter's younger sister is a classmate of my son. She is taking this very hard. Prayers for that family appreciated too.

Here is an update about what the West Liberty, Ohio school district plans to do in the wake of the shooting. It's basically a change of the windows to allow easier escape, different locks on the doors, pull down shades for the door windows, a review and audit of their procedures, and continuing to provide ALICE training.
There was also this:

Other items being investigated at this time are the employment of a School Resource Officer, door barricades, and metal detectors. No decision has been made at this time on these two items. At the conclusion of the construction project, the school will also be equipped with panic buttons in the office area and an emergency alert (911) system that can be activated by any staff member throughout the building.

He still has some lead in him. The one in his heart was pushed out with a small tube with air pressure and into the lining of a lung from what a family friend told me. Much better location now.
Some issues with lead poisoning but the numbers are dropping. Again from what I am told as of 7am this AM.
