PAINESVILLE TOWNSHIP, Ohio — The Lake County Sheriff's Office said a Painesville Township elementary school was placed under lockdown this morning because a person was shot toward the exit of the parking lot.
Deputies responded to Riverview Elementary School on Thursday morning around 9:10 a.m.
Chief Deputy Robert Izzo said the incident involved two individuals and no students.
Izzo said a person was transported to the hospital with what are believed to be minor injuries.
According to Izzo, it appears to be a domestic situation.
Izzo said a school resource officer was outside when the shots were fired and was able to subdue the person responsible for the shooting.
All students and staff are safe, says the sheriff's office.
The Auburn Career Center was also locked down this morning.
The school is no longer under lockdown, and it will remain open as a normal school day, but parents with ID are welcome to pick up their kids.
