Seventeen-year-old Ohio teenage suspect T.J. Lane, accused of killing three students in a shooting rampage in a high school cafeteria, appeared briefly in juvenile court where a prosecutor described him 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 Chardon High School and firing 10 shots at a group of students sitting at a cafeteria table Monday morning, prosecutor David Joyce confirmed.
