2 are killed in shooting at business
WALBRIDGE, Ohio (AP) — A shooting at a northwest Ohio trucking company left two people dead Wednesday, and a man who fled the scene in a semitrailer cab was arrested across the state line in Michigan, authorities said.
The semitrailer cab was found in a hotel parking lot in Monroe County, Mich., several hours after the 3 p.m. shooting at Liberty Transportation in Perrysburg Township, township Detective Sgt. Robert Gates said.
Police arrested Calvin Neyland Jr., 43, of Findlay, about 6 p.m. It was unclear how Neyland obtained the semitrailer cab or if he worked for the company, Gates said.
No other details about the arrest were released.
Police said they are interviewing witnesses and have not determined a motive for the shooting. Names of the victims were not released, and no one else was injured, Gates said.
Location of company
The company is in an isolated industrial complex bordered on one side by soybean fields. Owens Community College is less than a mile away.
Gates said the victims had been working inside the building, but he would not say whether they were shot inside the building or outside.
Yellow police tape surrounded the metal warehouse-type building and driveway, and several small evidence markers were placed outside the building’s main entrance.
Chuck Runzo, president of Liberty Transportation, said he had no immediate comment.
