Chardon, Ohio (AP) - The Ohio teenager accused of killing three students in a shooting rampage at a high school cafeteria has chosen his victims at random and is "something that is not good," a prosecutor said Tuesday as the slightly built young man appeared in juvenile court.
T.J. Lane, 17, agreed to take a .22 caliber pistol and a knife at Chardon High and firing 10 shots into a group of students sitting at a cafe table Monday morning, prosecutor David Joyce said. He said Lane did not know the victims.
Lane will probably be charged with three counts of aggravated murder and other crimes, the prosecutor said.
A slim figure with a short dark hair, Lane seemed small next to the sheriff's deputies who took him to the court, and said little more than "Yes, sir" in response to questions from the judge.
His face twitched slightly as the prosecutor told the attack, and he sniffled and half-closed eyes as he left the room under guard.
The hearing came hours after the death toll went up three, and as schoolmates and townspeople grappled with the tragedy and wondered what could have set off Lane, a young man described by other students as extremely quiet, with few or no friends.
The court appearance did little to solve the mystery. Later, however, the prosecutor seemed to rule out rumors and speculations that the gunman rushed after being bullied or that the shooting had anything to do with drug dealing.
"He chose his victims randomly. This is not about intimidation. This is not about drugs," Joyce said. "This is something that is not well, and I'm sure in our trial, we show that all of your wishes and we will make sure justice is done here in this county."
Joyce did not work out. Both sides in the case are under a gag order imposed by the judge to the prosecutor request.
Lane's grandfather, who has custody of the teenager, and two aunts joined him in court, the women reached over and lightly embraced the grandfather as the hearing began.
Judge Timothy Grendell ordered the boy held for at least 15 days. Prosecutors have until Thursday to bring charges against him and is expected to ask that he be tried as an adult.
In addition to imposing the gag order, the judge barred media from taking pictures of the faces of the suspect and some of his relatives.
The Associated Press transmitted pictures and video of Lane, who was shot in front of the ears. The AP and at least one other media outlet, The Plain Dealer of Cleveland, plans to challenge the judge order on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, one of two injured students were released from the hospital and shaken residents extended condolences to the families of those killed and wounded in the 1100-student high school. Grief counseling offered to students, staff and others in area schools.
"We're not just any old place, Chardon," Chardon School Superintendent Joseph Bergant II said. "This is every place. As you saw in the past, this can happen anywhere, proof of what we had yesterday."
All three of the dead were students, as are the two wounded victims. The one student was still hospitalized were in serious condition Tuesday evening at Hillcrest Hospital in suburban Cleveland, a hospital spokeswoman said.
The Chardon police chief said authorities learned Tuesday that the injured woman Chardon High student was released and the 18-year-old was at home with his family. He said that is good news from tragic circumstances.
Authorities said that Demetrius Hewlin, 16, and Russell King, Jr., 17, died. Daniel Parmertor, 16, died shortly after the shooting.
Hewlin attended Chardon High. King and Parmertor were students at the Auburn Career Center, a vocational school, waiting in the Chardon High cafeteria for their daily bus when they were shot.
Lane's family is mourning "that terrible loss to his community," Roberto Farinacci, a lawyer for Lane, said in a statement.
Fifteen years ago Danny Komertz, who witnessed the shooting, said it appeared that the gunman singled out a group of students sitting together. He said Lane was known as an outcast who seems to have been bullied. But other students contended that.
Farinacci told WKYC-TV that Lane "almost sticks to itself but does have a few friends and have never been in trouble over what we know about."
Lane was not present at Chardon High but waited there the bus to Lake Academy, a school for students with academic or behavioral problems. Authorities would not say how and why he ended up in the Lake Academy.
Student Nate Mueller said that he was at the table in the cafeteria where the victims were shot, and a bullet grazed his ear. Mueller told The Plain Dealer that King - one of those killed - just started dating Lane's ex-girlfriend.
Lane "was silent the whole time," Mueller said. "I did so random."
Kala Day, 18, said she was riding in the morning school bus with Lane and knew the victims.
"He always sat next to him and like looking through the window. So I sat with him a few times, because I felt bad for the guy. He did not speak. He just stared out the window," she said.
The shooting sent students screaming from the building in panic, and some of that chaos and fear were captured in 911 recordings released Tuesday.
"We just had a fire in our school. We need to get out of here. Oh, my god," one crying female caller told a dispatcher.
"Everyone is running away," the caller said.
Another caller, a male student, immediately identified the gunman as Thomas Lane, a student, and he said, seemed to be firing randomly.
"What was his beef with these guys? Do we know?" the dispatcher asked.
"I have no idea," he said, adding: "He is very quiet and did not really talk to anyone."
Frank Hall, an assistant high school football coach who has been hailed as a hero by students, who say that he pursued the gunman out of the cafe, told Cleveland TV station that he could not discuss what happened, but added: "I wish I could do more. "
