WASHINGTON -- A gunman opened fire at an Ohio school early Thursday wounding a teacher before fleeing the school, which was locked down, police said.

"It is a domestic (case)," Jackie Ramey, assistant to Portsmouth, Ohio's police chief, told Agence France-Presse, adding police were pursuing the assailant who after fleeing the school was involved in a second shooting.

It was not immediately known if there were any injuries in the second shooting, Ramey said.

The wounded teacher was being flown by helicopter to a nearby hospital, Ramey said.
