3rd Victim of School Shooter Dies
A third victim has died as the result of a school shooting in Ohio yesterday. 17-year-old TJ Lane went on a shooting rampage in the cafeteria of Chardon High School in Chardon, Ohio, Monday. Lane gunned down 5 students, killing Daniel Parmertor, 16, and Russell King Jr, 17, yesterday. Demetrius Hewlin was the third victim to die Tuesday. 2 other students remain hospitalized from gunshot wounds.
Demetrius’ family described him as a happy boy. “We are very saddened by the loss of our son and others in our Chardon community,” a family statement said.
The statement continued: “Demetrius was a happy young man who loved life and his family and friends. We will miss him very much but we are proud that he will be able to help others through organ donation.”
The rampage occurred around 7:30 a.m. local time on Monday as the students were sitting down to breakfast in the cafeteria. The shooting ended when Chardon football coach Frank Hall chased Lane out of the school. Students and teachers are praising Hall for his bravery and quick thinking. “Coach Hall, he always talks about how much he cares about us students, his team and everyone,” student Neil Thomas told CNN.
Lane was apprehended late Monday afternoon after police used K-9 units to track him down. He was taken into custody without incident in a residential neighborhood.
Students described Lane as a “loner” who was “bullied.” Lane’s first victim, Russell King Jr., had begun dating Lane’s ex-girlfriend. And on Dec. 20, Lane went on a Facebook rant which ended with the words “Die, all of you.” However, local police and federal agents will not speculate on the motive for the shootings.

@ Ryan
This so sad. Kids have no idea of the weight of their words. Words hurt period. Bullying is never acceptable and murdering your tormentors doesn’t help either, now this sick kid is the bully.
What be going through these kids minds to want to kill someone
Ryan you make me feel old, my daughter was born in 1991. I’d rather age, then not.
This just sickens me…I pray for the families to have peace in the midst of all this insanity…something has got to be done, we can’t keep having this happen…nobody sends their kids to school to get a call that they were shot to death…ugh

People nowadays cannot take people picking on them….either they kill themselves or they kill others….We have all gone through it…kids are just so weak these days. This is why I use to tell the grown women in the office to leave people alone and stop running and telling stupid isht because you don’t know what that person is going through and they come back and shoot this bish up. I always tell little kids, leave those kids at school alone…you see someone being picked on or bullied….walk away….People just aren’t made the way the use to be.
How could you have that much anger built up inside of you damn

That chit is cray, I wonder has there a study on how kids are bullied, and what type of enviornment they live, what type of music they listen too and so fourth….. because this is becoming a damn epidemic. Ish is unreal now. I sure would love to home school my daughter if I could afford too
@French, 9/11 really bothered me as well I went into this deep ass depression. I know that sounds crazy because I definitely didn’t know anybody personally that was a victim. It just profoundly bothered me, I didn’t feel safe anymore.
This is so sad.

@Kah, I’ve been meaning to say something about that all day. I’m praying they don’t charge the other little girl with murder because I am sure it was unintentional.
i felt horrible because it didn’t really hit me until after i had that dream…i was a teenage just thinking about myself and no one else
but i shaped up! part of the reason why I joined the military
@KAH

Authorities have ruled the death of Joanna Ramos, a Long Beach fifth-grader who got into a fight with a classmate, a homicide, according to ABC7. The fight took place after school on Friday, when Ramos and another 5th grade girl had reportedly arranged to meet up in an alley next door to Frances Willard Elementary School in Long Beach.
Ramos and her schoolmate, another girl, were possibly fighting over a boy, according to a student who attends the same after-school program as Ramos, reports City News Service.
The fight lasted only a minute, and no weapons were used by either girl.
After the tussle, when she was at home, Ramos reportedly complained to her family of a headache.
“Investigators say 10-year-old Joanna Ramos died Friday night from blunt force trauma to the head,” notes ABC7. (Ramos’ age was initially reported as 11, but the girl was 10, says ABC7).
So far, no arrests have been made. Grief counselors are on hand today at Willard Elementary to help students cope with Ramos’ death

Seems like they ruled it as a homicide. Kids fight….Kids fall….Kids get hurt….I see kids riding bikes wearing elbow pads, knee pads, helmets…. I didn’t have any of those things growing up….you fall you get up you go inside ask your mom for a bandage and go back outside.
Im from the next city over from here so sad! Im glad I moved my family elsewhere but its bad all over! Hug & Kiss your kids and family daily!
Hi SR Family!
So sad… My prayers are with these families.

Bullying is different now then when we were younger. You have so many outlets to hurt and embarass someone. Used to be someone called you fat u either said something, slap them in their mouth, told a yo momma joke, or didnt respond and kept it moving.
Now, they have FB, Twitter, Texting, Skype, and who knows what else to spread a rumor or fwd a text or whatever else they do to torment the other child.
I do belive that kids are weaker than they used to be, but technology has proven to be a gift and a curse for these kids with idol minds and internet access
@JMO
You did!
This post made me tear up a little. I can only imagine the pain the families are feeling. I stay prayed up over my kids because you never know what some other kid is going through.
I live 15 minutes away from Chardon. It is a very sad time in Northeast Ohio. Praying for all the families.
@Hershey, LOL. I still lub yah.

So Sad, what the hell is in the water today!
People are crazy. I’m not even gonna try to be sensitive about this topic. Humans can get too emotional. Any and everyone should know that the ignorance of a person is not an excuse to take someone’s life. The parents should have raised him better. Kids are cruel. The kids that teased him need a good whooping too! There is no reason for this to happen at all.
@ ryand91 That’s one of my favorite shows…oh I will be watching his a$$ on Friday…and damn you make me seem old too

AMEN!
Take the time to smile at a stranger today. You never know how that smile may bless them!
Saw this on an FB post.
The boy you punched in the hall today, committed suicide a few minutes ago. That girl you called a slut in class today. She’s a virgin. The boy you called lame. He has to work every night to support his family. That girl you pushed down the other day. She’s already being abused at home. That girl you called fat. She’s starving herself. The old man you made fun of cause of the ugly scars. He fought… for our country. The boy you made fun of for crying. His mother is dying. You think you know them. Guess what? You don’t!

I was listening to Dr. Joy Brown during lunch today. A caller said that a Principal told her to stop raising Hero’s. (that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard). When ppl see something happening they should mind their own business is basically what the caller mentioned. I think kids should stop a bully from being a bully. Bullies are made, they are not born that way. 1 bully should not be controlling the whole school. I think kids should let the bully know they are not going to take it. If a bully doesn’t have anyone afraid of him, who is he going to bully?
Everytime I hear of a school shooting, I think way back to 1999 and that day in suburban Denver and how that event changed public schools for forever.
And then I hear “Adam’s Song” by Blink 182 playing in the back of my head. America is such a messed up place. We truly are our own worst enemy.
@ ZenChickAtlm & JMO
They just asked a lot of questions. I guess to avoid issues like this happening. It doesn’t help that the lil nigglet is always getting into all types of **** at school…..they prolly believed him. Besides being expelled off of the bus, they have him going to counseling, all for running his damn mouth.
Bullying of all kinds need to be stop. No one knows what mentality a person has. These people pick on people that is weaker than. When those that are weak turn to something dire then thats when the bad stuff happens and people want to ask why. Alot of adults in the school knows about it but they dont really do anything about it until there is consequences
Bullies are weak and pick on others hoping their issues stay hidden #jmo

Agreed….as soon as you punch one in the mouth the cry like the lil bitches that they are.
My comment was so not meant for this post. I’m not insensitive at all. I hate bullying.
This hurts my heart.. So sad.
i thought that they said this was not becuase of bullying, at least thats what the news and arrticles I read said. Either way regardless these young children did not deserve to lose their lives. My prayers to the families of the victims and even the family of the shooter what pain it must be to know you raised a cold blooded killer.
