A 12-year-old boy was arrested Monday in connection with a shooting that took place outside Shaw High School the week before, according to the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department.
Sheriff’s deputies arrested the boy at about 6 a.m. in the 800 block of Ravine Drive, following a search warrant executed at a Cleveland Heights home. Officials said deputies seized evidence they believe is connected to the shooting.
The arrest followed an earlier incident. According to officials, the East Cleveland School System’s Security Director saw the suspect carrying a firearm near Shaw High School on Thursday. Officials said the suspect fired in the direction of the security director and a group of children at about 3 p.m., the time students are released from the school. The security director reportedly returned fire. With children leaving the school at that hour, the danger fell on young people who had no part in the dispute, a case for protecting the vulnerable (Psalm 82:3).
The suspect then fled the area. No injuries were reported.
The boy is being held at the Cuyahoga County Juvenile Detention Center while authorities determine what charges he may face.
