PORTSMOUTH, Ohio -- Police have evacuated a school in Portsmouth, Ohio after a teacher was shot during an apparent domestic incident.

The shooting happened shortly after 9 a.m. at Notre Dame Elementary School.

Police said that a man came to the school and shot his wife on the front steps of the school, then left the campus. Portsmouth's mayor, James Kalb, told a reporter that the man is barricaded in a home with several weapons and police are awaiting the arrival of a SWAT unit.



The name and condition of the teacher has not been released, but she was airlifted to a hospital for treatment.

There are no reports of any injured students.

WSAZ.com reported that police said there was another shooting in the city and that it appeared to be related to the teacher's shooting.

The school and another Catholic school nearby were locked down, said Deacon Tom Berg, vice chancellor of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus.

"We are mobilizing our crisis team and sending them down," Berg said.

Public schools also were put on lockdown, said Superintendent Jan Broughton, who oversees the community's public schools.
