A third student died today from injuries suffered in a shooting rampage Monday at an Ohio high school, the Associated Press reports.

Update at 1:03 p.m. ET: CNN reported the latest victim as Demetrius Hewlin, 16.

The victims were among five students injured in the shootings at Chardon High School in Chardon, Ohio.

The announcement of a third death came only hours after Russell King Jr., 17, was pronounced brain dead at MetroHealth Medical Center. The hospital notified the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office of the death at 12:42 a.m. today, The Plain Dealer reports.

"The cause and manner of death of this case are under on-going investigation and will be released upon completion," office administrator Hugh Shannon said in a statement, the Associated Press reports.

King was among five students shot when a teenage gunman opened fire in the school's cafeteria Monday morning.

Update at 11:09 a.m. ET: Chardon Police Chief Tim McKenna confirms the death overnight of Russell King, 17, the second victim of the shootings.

He says he "cannot provide a motive" for the rampage.

He declined to name the suspect, but says there will be a hearing in court today at 3:30 p.m. ET.

Update at 11:08 a.m. ET: Chardon School Superintendent Joe Bergant says students and parents will be allowed to return to the school together on Thursday at 9 a.m. and that grief counselors will be available. Schools will open Friday for normal classes.

He urges parents to "hug your kids, kids hug your parents."

Update at 11:04 a.m. ET: At a news conference, Geauga County Sheriff Dan McCelland says it is time to "look for the why, the what, the who" of Monday's shooting rampage. He says the Ohio community is "rallying" after the tragedy that has left two dead and three injured.

Update at 8:04 a.m. ET: Here is the full statement that Robert Farinacci, lawyer for the family of Thomas "TJ" Lane, the suspect in the shootings, gave to WKYC-TV's Russ Mitchell:

"The family wanted me to convey to the citizens of Geauga County and Northeastern Ohio that the family is devastated by this most recent event. They want to give their most heartfelt and sincere condolences to the family of the young man who passed and their continuing prayers are with all those who were injured. This is something that could never have been predicted. TJ's family has asked for some privacy while they try to understand how such a tragedy could have occurred and while they mourn this terrible loss for their community."

When asked about TJ as a young man, Farinacci responded:

"By all accounts TJ is a fairly quiet and good kid. His grades are pretty impressive. He's been doubling up his classes this year. He's a sophomore. He's been doubling up on his classes with the intent of graduating this May. He pretty much sticks to himself but does have some friends and has never been in trouble over anything that we know about."

Update at 7:52 a.m. ET: A lawyer for the family of the teenage suspect in the shooting has identified him as TJ Lane and issued a statement saying the Lane family offers "their most heartfelt and sincere condolences" to the families of the victims.

In a statement to WKYC-TV in Cleveland Monday night, lawyer Robert Farinacci says the teen's family is trying to understand how the tragedy happened.

Farinacci says the boy "pretty much sticks to himself but does have some friends and has never been in trouble over anything that we know about."

Fifteen-year-old Danny Komertz, who witnessed the shooting, said Lane was known as an outcast who had apparently been bullied. But others disputed that, the Associated Press reports.

"Even though he was quiet, he still had friends," said Tyler Lillash, 16. "He was not bullied."

Original post: Among the remaining victims, one teen is in critical condition, another, a 17-year-old boy, is in serious condition and the third, an 18-year-old girl, is listed as stable, WKYC reports.

The suspect was captured nearby after he fled the school.

The first victim, Daniel Parmertor, 16, died on Monday within hours of the shooting.

The Parmertor family released the following statement:
