Youngstown firefighter shot on East Side
YOUNGSTOWN — A city firefighter was shot four times during what neighbors said may have been a robbery at his North Fruit Street home on the East Side around 12:30 p.m. today.
The victim, Andre Johnson, 26, was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center. No condition was available because he remained in the emergency room.
A man who may be a suspect in the shooting was at Forum Health Trumbull Memorial Hospital, and Warren police were holding a car for Youngstown police.
Part of the man’s ear found at 28 N. Fruit was taken to TMH to see if it could be reattached, said Lt. Mark Milstead. Fire Chief John J. O’Neill Jr. said Johnson was hired June 17, 2006.
