Shots fired at officers

Shots fired at officers
YOUNGSTOWN -- Someone fired at least two shots at police officers making a traffic stop on the North Side early Sunday, though nobody was hit.
Police were responding to a call just before 2 a.m. on Lora Avenue about gunfire coming from a party where there were a number of teenagers.
Officers heard several shots when they arrived and stopped a vehicle nearby with six people in it. Officers said that during the stop they heard at least two shots whistle past them from behind, hitting a tree.
A woman at a Lora Avenue home later told police a 17-year-old youth fired a gun in the house near several other people, then fired shots at the officers from the porch.
Police: Man ran into wife
YOUNGSTOWN -- A man angry that his wife wouldn't give him money to buy beer ran her down with his van, police say.
Police charged Kevin Burkey, 40, of Youngstown-Poland Road, Struthers, with felonious assault. He remained in the Mahoning County jail this morning.
Police said Burkey was at a gas station-store on Youngstown-Poland Road about 9:30 p.m. and wanted to buy beer. His wife, Debra, told police that she wouldn't give him money for the beer and that she got out of the van.
Burkey became angry and accelerated the van, hitting his wife and knocking her unconscious, then fled the scene, witnesses told police. Police arrested him later at his home.
Debra Burkey was treated at St. Elizabeth Health Center.
