CHARDON, OH (AP) -- Authorities say a second student has died following a high school shooting in suburban Cleveland.

An official in the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office says he received word early this morning that 17-year-old Russell King Jr. has been declared brain dead.              

King was one of five wounded when a teenager opened fire in the cafeteria at Chardon High School Monday morning.

Another student was killed yesterday as a witness says he tried to duck under the cafeteria table. 

A Cleveland TV station (WKYC-TV) says a lawyer for the suspect's family identifies him as T.J. Lane, who authorities say wasn't attending Chardon High, but was a student at an alternative school.
