A combination of problems led Cuyahoga Falls High School to keep students in classes for about an hour earlier this morning, but one of those problems was not an actual gun.

Cuyahoga Falls superintendent Dr. Todd Nichols says despite what was rumored on social media, it wasn't a real gun spotted among other situations at Cuyahoga Falls High School.

Cuyahoga Falls police say they were called to the high school for a "disorderly student" at just before 9:30 AM, but learned from the school of the 16 year-old student with a weapon "believed to be a gun".

Police say that device found in a backpack turned out to be pruning shears wrapped in electrical tape, with a Swiss army knife taped to the outside.

Dr. Nichols sent out a call to parents this afternoon, saying students were kept in their classes for a while, but that no one was hurt, or in danger.

Police say the student faces felony charges of Illegal Possession of a Weapon in a School, and misdemeanor Inducing Panic, and was taken to the Summit County Juvenile Detention Center.

A Cuyahoga Falls man shot in a dispute at a home near Woodridge High School two weeks ago is now facing his own charges.

The Beacon Journal reports that Fred Fleischer faces child endangering and drug-related charges.

38 year-old Jason Beavers of Ravenna was arrested earlier for shooting and wounding Fleischer, in an apparent dispute over marijuana growing equipment.

Police looking into the shooting found evidence of a grow operation at the house on Quick Road.

They say Beavers used to live there, but didn't remove the growing equipment.

Cuyahoga Falls police say a man was found shot after an apparent dispute at State and Quick Roads.

Woodridge Schools had a short lockdown, after Falls police told them about the shots fired call.

Woodridge superindentent Walter Davi tells WAKR.net that the lockdown at Woodridge was lifted 20 minutes later, about 5 minutes before scheduled dismissal, and students were dismissed as scheduled.

Falls police say the shooting victim was conscious when they arrived, and named a suspect.

He's now in custody, and charges are pending.

Police say the shooting was apparently due to the dispute, and that no one else is in danger.

Cuyahoga Falls police say that spotting a suspicious car Monday night led them to three young people and two air guns with the orange tip removed.

Falls police say that Akron PD said the car was on their stolen list.

When Falls police caught up with the car at just before midnight Tuesday on Billman Place, a 17 year old and a 14 year old got away on foot.

A 13 year-old boy was taken into custody, and police say he had two black air guns without orange tips.

He'll face a felony charge of receiving stolen property and a misdemeanor charge of possessing air guns.

The case is still under investigation.
