Possible pellet shooting

Possible pellet shooting
GIRARD -- A Youngstown woman told police she was shot in the head with something, possibly a pellet from a BB gun, while driving along State Street. She was northbound on State approaching Syro Steel, when a beige Chevrolet Cavalier pulled alongside. The woman said she heard a loud bang and felt pressure on the side of her head. The woman said she followed the vehicle into Niles and was stopped next to the Cavalier when she heard a passenger tell the driver, "I told you not to shoot that thing." When the Cavalier left the area, the woman returned to the Girard police station and gave officers the license plate number. Officers were able to track the Cavalier and locate three juveniles inside, who were later identified by the victim. The juveniles were released to their parents; no charges have yet been filed.
