is that brings us to the issue of rule 7, detention, which is the main purpose for us being here today, and with that prosecutor joyce, it's the burden on the state to demonstrate to this court the requirements of juvenile rule 7-a which reads -- prior to final disposition unless enough following applied. one, detention or shelter care is required, a, to protect the child from immediate or threatened physical or emotional harm, or b, to protect the person or property of others from immediate threatened fill or emotional harm, two, the child maybe abscond, three, the child has no parent, guardian cuss to doia or earn and return the collide to the courtroom required so prosecutor joyce, the floor is yours. >> thank you, your honor. yesterday officers reported to chardon, a student by the name of t.l. had a .2278 handgun and was shooting other students in the school. there were students injured and in need of assistance. t.j. was last seen leave the calf nearia, chief mckenna and sheriff mcclelland took command of the scene. the officers found three injured male students. all three were unconscious bleeding from the head area. another injured was a male student located in room 200 where he appeared to have been shot in the neck area. it was clear at that point that t.j. had left the building. it showed that lane was the only shooter involved. a total of five victims were shot. after shooting four students in the cafeteria, one in the 200 hallway, he ran out of the the east door, into a wooded area. at 8:37 a.m., he was located on wooden road and taken into custody without incident. once in custody lane was advised of his rights, he confessed to taking the .22 pistol to school along with a knife. he admitted he fired ten rounds into a group of students, that he did not know the students, about el he chose them randomly. since then three other victims have expired due to the gunshot injuries, and the fifth victim has been released to the family. this is an active investigation. for the safety of this juvenile and the safety of this community, we ask this court entertain a motion to detain himmen proper charges can be presented to this court. >> t.j., you do know you have a right to counsel and you're represented by farinacci, correct? the court will note it had a discussion with mr. farinacci should he feels he needs additional counsel and cannot obtain through private matters, the court will review and entertain a motion to have the public defender assist if necessary in the further proceedings of the court. additionally, you understand, t.j., you have the right to remain silent with respect to any of the allegations pending. do you understand that? >> yes, i do. >> mr. nolan, you understand you also have a right to be represented by counsel? >> yes, i do. >> do you intend to be represented by counsel? >> not at this time. >> mr. farinacci, you heard the information provided by the prosecutor on this matter to why -- why detention should be continued, do you wish to respond? >> your honor u. we're not objecting to continued detention. >> the court will find pursuant to juvenile rule 7-a, that placement of tjl in his home would be contrary to the juvenile's own welfare and protection of the community, and efforts to prevent or eliminate -- under the alleged circumstances would not be reasonable and that tjl should remain in detention pending further 0rd of the court during these proceedings for the reason the detention is necessary due to the sisters nature and allegations, detention is necessary and required to protect the person and property of others in the community from the immediate threat the fill and emotional harm and the detention is to protect himself from immediate or -- or emotional harm. this matter then under rule 7:00, i can place him in detention for 15 days. the court will make a few other notes. in this case the prosecution has not yet charged t.j. that under the juvenile rules, the prosecutor has until 1645 hours on march first, 2012 to formally charge the juvenile in anticipation of that charge, this court has scheduled the initial hearing on any charges that may be filed for tuesday, march 6th, 2012, at 3:00 p.m., in this courtroom, so the initial hearing will be scheduled for march 6th, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. in this courtroom. mesh 19th, 2012, commencing at 9:00 a.m. should there be a filing of a moment for transfer to the adult court. so the tentative date for the probable cause here for bind-over is set for march 19th, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. any questions to those matters, prosecutor joyce? >> no, your honor. >> mr. farinacci? >> no, your honor. >> there have been multiple requests to documents under the custody of this court. those documents are of three categories. there's been request for any reports as they exist to any juvenile reports pertaining to t.j. there have been any requests on for any records if they exist for other juvenile court records that may pertain to t.j., but are not involving or delinquency division, which would be the family jfs division. now there are requests that have been made of this court for release of information of the records, if any exist, to at least one of the victims in this matter. the court will ask, first of all, the prosecution, do you object to release of any of these documents? >> your honor, in each instant, the state would have an objection. >> thank you. do you object? >> likewise, your honor, object to all three. >> in light of the objections of counsel for both the prosecution and the defense, the court has set a hearing date for tomorrow, february 29th, at 3:30 p.m. to hear any media representatives, and to allow both the state and mr. farinacci to defend against the request for release of any of the these documents. for those of you in the media, if you wish to have these documents released, you're going to need to file at least some sort of formal motion or request with the court and have somebody here representing you tomorrow at 3:30. the court intends to take up all three areas of potential reports. the cord is not saying they exist or don't exist, but we will address the release by category, and those two categories at the hearing tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. charges are due by 1645 hours march 1st, initial hearing is set for march 6th, and the court will leave the 19th of march open as a tense tiff date. mr. farinacci, if you need additional time, the court will certainly be responsive, but the court intends to see this matter moved through quickly, as is the requirements under ohio law. >> thank you, your honor. >> anything else to come before the court today? [ inaudible ] >> the court will be more than willing to look at that issue tomorrow at 3:30, as we address the other media disclosure issues. all right. at this time the court will ask that everybody stay in place and that, first of all, that t.j. be returned to the custody of the geauga county sheriff. i think the sheriff has done fine work, and please transfer him to the detention facility. >> thank you very much, your honor. >> mr. farinacci, after t.j. mass gone, i'm going to ask you you and the family to leave, and we'll go from there. >> thank you, your honor. >> to the members of the media, i want you to stay for a minute, because i want to give you a road map, at least from the juvenile court, at least to where this scheduling is going to go. >> you may leave with the family. there he is, the judge wrapping up this hearing. in the suspect will remain in custody for the time being sunny hosten is joining us. it seems routine, though the judge said no photographs of the suspect, no photographs of the family, the news media certainly probably will appeal that decision tomorrow at this hearing. walk us through what we just saw. >> well, in ohio, wolf, certainly cameras are allowed in the courtroom. the judge is basically required to have the cam rards. there's a victim and witness opt-out. if a victim doesn't want to be photographed or taped, that is usually what happened. but the judge in his discretion doesn't want the media to photograph this jewel as he is considered a juvenile right now. but we know, w068, that three young people are dead, and that he is the only suspect. he is in custody. i suspect he will be charged with philosophers, with murder, so i exact that he will also be transferred to a criminal court, an adult proceeding. is a 17 years old considered an adult or juvenile? >> it depends on the circumstances, but certainly a child over 14 can be transferred, can be tried as an adult. there are certainly rules in ohio that allow a judge to transfer a juvenile to adult court if a juvenile is over the age of 14 or 16 or 17. so we're dealing with a 17-year-old juvenile, but there's no question in my mind that the law allows this young man to be treated as an adult, and i suspect he will be. >> you heard the judge say he wasn't going to let him go back home for his own safety considerations, he would be better protected by law enforcement authorities at a detention facilities outside of cleveland where all of this is unfolding. hold on for a second, sunny. ted rowlands was in the courtroom. walk us through what occurred today, two more victims, unfortunately, passed away. >> reporter: yeah, wolf, which brings the total victims to a heartbreaking three. this community is even more affected today than the folks here were even yesterday. >> the big thing on this hearing that really was considerable in terms of news, if you will, in terms of crime, was the fact he admitted shooting to the police, and that he told the police that the targets in this case were not targets at all. he claimed he didn't even know the victims and chose them, quote, randomly. that coming out of the proceedings. that's contrary to what we've been led to believe from witness 125i789s, that he seemed to zero in on this group of kids sitting in the cat tieria, all around the table, that he appeared to be absolutely targeting those kids first. what we found out today is that he admitted what he did to the police immediately, said he fired ten shots, and also said that he did not know any of his victims, and did not choose them. in fact, they were random. >> we assume in the conversations he had with the police, with the local laws nvtment, ted, he had been earlier given his miranda rights, but presumably after those rights were read to him, he went ahead and discussed the detailfuls of what was going through his mind? >> reporter: absolutely. one would assume that for a number of reasons. not just that the police department would be professional, but they knew the high profile, that the federal government was involved very early in this, it is fair to assume the young man was given all of his rights before giving information. >> the attorney who was with him in court, ted, was this attorney present during the course of these conversations with law enforcement? >> we don't know if he was present during the initial to he was obviously called by the family fairly early on, and last evening actually came out with a statement from the family. so whether or not he was there during the questioning, nobody knows -- well, people know that were there. that we don't know for sure one way or the other, but maybe sunny has insight with just his permission, the 17-year-old juvenile. >> it's an important point in terms of add miskt if in fact t.j. lane, the suspect did confess and go into detail he has a right to an attorney. if he did give all of these details without an attorney present, did that raise any questions about the admissibility? >> it certainly will. right now we know he was advised of his rights. we know -- he had the right to remain silent, anything he said would and could be held against him. so you can answer question serve 56 waives your right, but as a juvenile, many people will argue and i suspect they may argue it here, he can't waive his rights here, but we don't know if his attorney was with him. >> presumably it would be moot if there were so many eyewitnesses who will testify they saw t.j. lane take out this handgun and start shooting people. >> i think that's right. we know he was identified by so many witnesses and was apprehended very close in time to when this tragedy occurred. so i don't think the identity has ever been in question. >> sunny hosten recording for us, thanks very much. ted rowlands, stand by, we'll be getting back to you. one quick note, the authorities in chardon was scheduled to hold a news conference. we're going to bring you that news conference live as soon as it starts. that could be within the next few minutes. stand by for this story, plus all the day's other important news, including a huge day in politician today. also dramatic development unfor thing in syria. stay with us, you're in "the situation room." today is gonna be an important day for us. you ready? we wanna be our brother's keeper. what's number two we wanna do? bring it up to 90 decatherms. how bout ya, joe? let's go ahead and bring it online. attention on site, attention on site. now starting unit nine. some of the world's cleanest gas turbines are now powering some of america's biggest cities. siemens. answers. news coming up. we're standing by for a news conference. authorities getting ready to explain what's next in this process, this horrible school shooting yesterday. we just saw t.j. lane, the suspect being held in detention, at least for the time being. a huge day today, 59 republican del gant are up for grabs today. voting is under way right now in two crucial primaries. it's winner take all where mitt romney seems to hold a clear end. it's anyone's game in michigan, the state where romney was raised, that's where the charge of cheap shots and dirty tricks are flowing. jim acosta, set the scene for us. tell us what's going on? >> reporter: santorum is saying mitt romney is whining. the way these two candidates are going after each other, you would think the entire race is riding on michigan, and it might. cruising diners for last-minute voters, he was serving up mischief. >> reporter: what was the rationale. >> we're proving the point we can -- >> join democrats who are going to send a lout message to massachusetts mitt romney. >> the automated phone emergency hits mitt romney's opposition to the autobailout. >> i think -- >> reporter: after weeks of struggling, he labeled the call a dirty trick. >> i think the hardest thing about predicting what's going to happen today is whether senator santorum's effort to call democrat households and tell them to come out and vote against mitt romney is going to be successful or not. >> reporter: santorum noted romney has a robo-call of his own, using a clip from four years ago when he endorsed romney for president. >> i'm a big guy. if someone wants to take cheap shots, but to whine and complain -- >> that's a cheap shot. >> to use someone's voice from four years ago, you tell me what that is. >> romney has done some crossing over of his own. at the time he told abc news he voted for the person who he thought would be the weakest opponent for the republican. that's not how he explained it to reporters on this day. >> i was is erv voting against the. >> that's what we need to have. >> romney acknowledged he has damaged himself with some of his recent gaffes. >> talking to people like chris christie, jeb bush, paul ryan, mitch daniels. >> rick an sorm was talking about the dangers and i'm reading here. if republicans want to vote in the republican party, they should go ahead and become a republican. as for how far mitt romney would go, he told reporters earlier today he's not willing toe set his hair on fire. i assume where you are right now, jim, at some point mitt romney will be making a speech, either a concession speech or victory speech, whatever the case may be. >> reporter: that's right. rick santorum will be here later tonight. you can see over my shoulder they have already hung the banner "made in america." it's reference to his economic policy. that's a message that's gotten lost for rick santorum in the last several days, because he's been focused so much on the social issues. >> we'll hear from all four candidates as the evening unfolds. thank for that, jim acosta. is the party being battle tested or badly wounded? ifb talking to a lot of important republicans in michigan, what are they saying to you? >> reporter: well, look, in michigan and elsewhere, as short ha time ago as two weeks, i remember talking to rhine priefer is and how stuffed. so hear that much anymore. some say, look, we are at this point where it is no longer helping us. you can look at the polling numbers as the -- i brought up, what about when hillary clinton and barack obama went at it as two candidates, and everyone felt they came out stronger. they said the difference here is that over time, democrats seem to come to like both hillary clinton and barack obama saying i'll take either one, but what this is doing is, they say, dividing the republican parties and both of them are seeing their numbers falling, particularly when it comes to santorum and when it comes to mitt romney. they're no longer seeing this as helpful. you add into the economy showing signs of getting better, you have a president as any incumbent has, has the bully pulpit. he can go out and call it policy, but it's still politics, because it's an election year. they feel this is the time the party needs to come together. also, you know there's a lot of chatter that if rick santorum continues to do well, a new candidate could jump in and change everything. what are you hearing about the thew yam for that kind of idea? >> you know, again, the folks i talked to set, number one, there's a couple things going on, it would be incredibly complicated rights now it's not enough to collect, so it would have to happen at a convention or prior to the convention. when you put it together with the question of is the republican party hurting itself right now in november, when you put together the idea of a brokered convention, they say there wouldn't be enough time in august when the convention is held and november to try to bring the party back together. they also note that, let's say, rick santorum goes into the convention with the most delegates but not enough, they think it would be very heart to get folks from rick santorum's team to say, yeah, yeah, we would give it up to somebody else, and the folks with the biggest names to bring the party together, jeb bush, chris christie, mitch daniels, they have all been absolutely without hesitation said no, no way, no how. so the folks i talk to just don't see how this can happen. they're praying for someone to come up with a conclusion to this sooner rather than later. >> candy crowley, thanks very much. we'll check back with you as the evening continues. let's bring in our analyst gloria borger. i've been looking at what you are calling the x factors in this contest. >> these are way toss make mischief tonight the first is the crossover voters, michigan open primary, that means democrats can cross over and vote. there's some democrats who are saying, you know what? let's cross over and let's vote for rick santorum. that way we can cause some problems for mitt romney, the santorum campaign taking advantage of that, putting out robo-calls, telling people to do just that. if it's a really close contest and 1%, or even 2%, it can make a difference. >> it's not just democrats that can cross, but independents as we well. >> another x factor that can cause mischief here are absentee voting. most estimates say not as big as it was ins arizona or florida, but could amount to just under one nist of the voting population. if there's a low turnout, that should mean that mitt romney is going to do pretty well. so we have to look at the -- >> the third thing is the po
