Teacher Shot by Husband at Ohio Elementary School
Thursday, February 07, 2008
A teacher’s husband came to her Ohio elementary school Thursday and shot her, but no children were injured, police said.
The condition of the woman was not immediately known, and the shooter escaped. Authorities said they were in the process of trying to apprehend the man, but did not elaborate.
The shooting happened at Notre Dame Elementary in Portsmouth, a community in southern Ohio near the Kentucky border.
The school and another Catholic school nearby were locked down, said Deacon Tom Berg, vice chancellor of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus.
“We are mobilizing our crisis team and sending them down,” Berg said.
Public schools also were put on lockdown, said Superintendent Jan Broughton, who oversees the community’s public schools.

Police: Officer Killed in Los Angeles Shootout With Man Who Claims He Killed 3 Relatives
WINNETKA, CALIF. — A man barricaded himself in a house after telling police he had killed three relatives, then opened fire on a SWAT team Thursday, killing one officer and wounding another, police said. Ten hours after he initially called police, the house was on fire.
After the man and police exchanged gunfire just after midnight, he apparently remained in the house, which was on fire around 7:30 a.m Thursday.
Flames shot out of the windows and smoke was coming out on several sides of the house. Firefighters sprayed the house with water, but did not go into the home. It was unclear how the fire started, although tear gas had been used.
