Neighbor says Ohio teen suspect was normal kid CHARDON, Ohio (AP) - A family friend who lives next door to the 17-year-old suspect in a deadly rampage at an Ohio high school describes him as a normal boy who was excelling academically. Pastor Steve Sawczak (SAW'-chack) on Wednesday told The Associated Press that suspect T.J. Lane was an average kid who didn't exhibit any signs of being troubled. A prosecutor says Lane has admitted taking a .22-caliber pistol to Chardon High and firing 10 shots at a group of students sitting at a cafeteria table on Monday, killing three. Sawczak says he's lived next to Lane's grandparents for almost 25 years and is a family friend. He says the grandparents gave Lane a healthy place to live. He says Lane played outside frequently with his sister, building snow hills and skateboarding. The 17-year-old suspect in a deadly shooting rampage at an Ohio high school appeared briefly in juvenile court as residents of the shaken community offered sympathy and support for families and friends of the three students who were killed and two who were wounded. A prosecutor described suspect T.J. Lane as "someone who's not well" and said the teen didn't know the victims but chose them randomly. Lane admitted taking a .22-caliber pistol and a knife to the 1,100-student Chardon High School and firing 10 shots at a group of students sitting at a cafeteria table Monday morning, prosecutor David Joyce said. Authorities offered their own condolences Tuesday and shared a nugget of welcome news, announcing that an 18-year-old girl who was hurt in the shootings had been released from the hospital and was home with family. The second injured teen remained in serious condition at a suburban Cleveland hospital. Those trying to understand what prompted the shootings got few answers from the court hearing, which came hours after the death toll rose to three. Lane, a thin young man described by other students as extremely quiet, spoke little in court, where a judge ordered him held for at least 15 days. Lane's grandfather, who has custody of the teenager, and two aunts joined him in court. The women lightly embraced the older man as the hearing began. Prosecutors have until Thursday to bring charges and are expected to ask that Lane be tried as an adult. He will probably be charged with three counts of aggravated murder and other offenses, Joyce said. The prosecutor appeared to rule out rumors and speculation that the young gunman lashed out after being bullied or that the shooting had something to do with drug-dealing. The judge also barred media outlets from taking photos of the faces of the suspect and some of his relatives. The Associated Press transmitted photos and video of Lane that were shot before the hearing. The AP and at least one other media outlet, The Plain Dealer of Cleveland, plan to challenge the judge's order Wednesday. Meanwhile, area schools offered grief counseling to students, staff and others shocked by the rampage. Authorities said Tuesday that Demetrius Hewlin, 16, and Russell King Jr., 17, had died from their injuries. Daniel Parmertor, 16, died shortly after the shooting. King and Parmertor were students at the Auburn Career Center, a vocational school, and were waiting in the Chardon High cafeteria for their daily bus when they were shot. Parmertor had just gotten his first job at a bowling alley and couldn't stop talking about how excited he was to pick up his first paycheck later this week, his parents said. Instead, Bob and Dina Parmertor are considering burying the check with the body of their son. "That's all he was talking about," Dina Parmetor said Wednesday on NBC's Today show. "`Mom, when I get home from school on Thursday, can you take me to pick it up?'" Bob Parmertor said his son was a happy kid, always fun to be around, and fond of teasing him because he was taller. The shooting killed two other students, while another student, Nick Walczak, remains in serious condition in Hillcrest Hospital in suburban Cleveland. Suspect T.J. Lane has admitted firing at a group of students. A judge ordered the teen held for at least 15 days.
