Student shoots self in Ohio high school

One person has been shot in an apparent suicide attempt at a high school in Cincinnati in the US state of Ohio.

According to AP, the incident took place about 8:00 a.m. local time on Monday at La Salle High School.
A local official with the sheriff’s office told reporters “A student produced a gun inside one of the classrooms and shot himself, and we’re dealing with that now.”
The official said the youth apparently was trying to commit suicide, but did not provide further details concerning the incident except that the student was later transported to University Hospital.
The students at the all-male private school were put on lockdown as a precaution after the shooting.
The United States has for many years been engaged in shooting incidents, many of them in schools and universities. The country has been debating gun-control laws following a series of tragic shootings in the past months.
