🌱 Police Arrest Teen In Fatal Shooting + Student Brings Gun To School

Hello, friends. It's me, Sean Peek, your host of the Cleveland Daily — here to impart all the most important things happening locally.

But first, today's weather:

Low clouds. High: 48 Low: 45.

Here are the top three stories today in Cleveland:

1. The Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force, a division led by the U.S. Marshals Service, arrested a 14-year-old boy and a 46-year-old man for two separate fatal shootings in Cleveland. The boy shot Lawrence McKissic, 18, who died days later in the hospital. Police identified the boy at the scene of the incident and issued a warrant. The task force also arrested Bayshun East for the fatal shooting of Dontae Malone, 27. (Subscription: cleveland.com)
2. Two Akron schools were temporarily locked down yesterday after a student brought a gun into school. Seventh- and eighth-grade students at Litchfield Community Learning Center told staff about a rumor regarding a student bringing a gun into the building. Police and district security found a handgun in the seventh grader's fanny pack. Firestone Community Learning Center also went under lockdown during the incident. (Subscription: cleveland.com)
3. If you are in the mood to exercise your philanthropic arm this holiday season, there are plenty of ways you can help those in need. Volunteers of America has wish lists to be fulfilled, The Centers allows you to adopt a family, or you can contribute to the Christmas Fair at Laura's Home. (News 5 Cleveland WEWS)
