Police probe shooting

Police probe shooting
CAMPBELL -- Police found 10 spent shell casings after responding to a 911 call about a shooting over the weekend at an apartment at 93 Jackson St.
Two men told police they were in the living room when they heard gunfire and got on the floor. The men, who were unhurt, called 911 by cell phone at 6:57 p.m. Saturday.
Police determined that the shooter stood on the rear porch about three to four feet from the rear door and window and fired. Officers counted 14 bullet holes through the windows and door and found one round that went through a bedroom window.
One of the men told police he and a friend were at the apartment, which is his cousin's, because the cousin is out of town and had asked him to watch it.
Breaking and entering
AUSTINTOWN -- Police arrested a 16-year-old township boy and charged him with breaking and entering at Davis Elementary School.
Police were sent to the school by an alarm company around 9 p.m. Saturday, a police report says. They saw the teenager walking along the building, and he was holding a hub device used for computers, the report says.
He told police he got the device from a friend, but then admitted he got it from inside the school, the report said. He showed them a window he had pried open.
He was taken to the juvenile justice center and later released to his mother.
Salem parade route
SALEM -- The President's Club of the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce has cut its annual parade by more than half to attract more participants.
The club, which oversees the event, announced the new route for the Grande Parade on Monday. The parade will begin at 6 p.m. July 21.
Audrey Null, the executive director of the chamber, said the route used in recent years had been as long as 2.3 miles.
The new route will be one mile long. The starting point will be the corner of North Union Avenue and East State Street. The units will turn west onto East State Street and go through the downtown. Then participants will turn north on North Ellsworth Avenue, and go one block north to Broadway Plaza, where the parade will disband.
The new parade chairman is David Coy of Salem. He is asking that clubs and organizations have activities that day.
Pedestrian killed
GUILFORD LAKE -- A 34-year-old man was fatally injured Monday as he walked along state Route 172 near Hoffee Road in front of Guilford Lake State Park in Hanover Township, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol in Lisbon.
The deceased was identified as Kevin Troyer, of Canal Fulton.
A westbound dump truck driven by Robert Runser, 39, of Hanoverton, came up behind Troyer and moved left to give him more walking room at 10:15 a.m., the patrol said. A 17-year-old Leetonia girl, whom the patrol declined to identify, was driving an eastbound car and saw the truck giving space to Troyer. She went off the right edge of the road, lost control, went back across the road, hit Troyer, and then went off the north edge of the road and hit a tree, the patrol said.
No other injuries were reported. No charges have been filed. The crash remains under investigation.
