Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.Local officials in Ohio are commending the quick thinking of a high school student who they say potentially averted aAfter the 17-year-old student alerted a school resource officer on Monday morning about a bullet found in one of the school's bathrooms, police were able to locate and arrest a student who had brought a 9mm handgun and three fully-loaded magazines into the school, school officials said.
"The fact that we were able to do so rests in large part on the actions of a student who did what he knew was right; he reported a suspicious finding to his school resource officer," West Geauga Local Schools Superintendent Richard Markwardt said at a press conference on Wednesday. Police charged 18-year-old Brandon Morrissette with attempted aggravated murder, inducing panic and illegal possession of a deadly weapon in a school, according to court records obtained byGeauga County Prosecutor Jim Flaiz said that Morrissette will be taken into custody and arraigned once he clears medical and psychological evaluations at a mental health facility, which could be as early as Friday.
"I am deeply grateful for the fact that no students and staff were injured or killed in this recent incident," Markwardt said at the press conference.

Amazing. A school actually did something when warned?
Mercifully, no shooting this time? Then how was he charged with 'attempted aggravated murder'?
A bullet has never killed anyone.
Good job!
This student's brave act prevented a tragedy and he was very brave
He is a hero!
I think relying on students to find stray bullets is a less effective method of preventing school shootings than stronger gun control.
