Police said in a news conference Tuesday afternoon that investigators found "distractionary-type" devices in the backpack of a boy who shot himself inside Jackson Memorial Middle School near Canton, Ohio.
Police said the devices were not explosives and they didn't find any devices that "would have done harm to others."
Jackson Township middle school and high school students were dismissed for the day after the boy shot himself around 7:50 a.m.
Authorities say the boy suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside the boy's bathroom. It's unclear at this time whether the shooting was accidental or intentional.
