Competency exam for Ohio school shooting suspect

CHARDON, Ohio (AP) - March 28, 2012

Local media outlets report the Geauga (jee-AW'-guh) County Juvenile Court in northeast Ohio ordered the evaluation of 17-year-old T.J. Lane on Tuesday. The ruling postpones next week's hearing that was set to determine if the case should move to adult court.

Authorities say Lane entered the cafeteria at Chardon High School on Feb. 27 and opened fire, killing three students and seriously wounding two others.

He is charged with three counts of aggravated murder, two counts of attempted aggravated murder and one count of felonious assault.
