Ravenna Shooting Leaves Three Dead

An afternoon shooting near Ravenna High School Wednesday left the students and teachers on lockdown -- and has now claimed three lives.

Channel 3 News reports the Portage County Cornoner identified the victims of the shootings as  33-year old Lashaun Sanders of Ravenna and 32-year old Sara Marsh of Kent, who was pregnant. Her baby did not survive the shooting.  Marsh died at the hospital.

Police are looking for 25-year old David Darnell Calhoun Jr., who remains at large. Ravenna residents are being asked to keep doors locked and be on alert.

The high school was locked down shortly before 2:30 yesterday afternoon on the first reports of the shooting on Henderson Road, not far from the school. Students, faculty and workers remained in the building but the lockdown was lifted about a half-hour later. Those with their own vehicles were escorted to their cars or trucks in the high school parking lot, and buses resumed pickup of students.
