WARREN — Police have arrested a 31-year-old Roosevelt Street Northwest man for the near fatal shooting of a 55-year-old Hall Street man.

Police arrested Christopher Moore about 4 p.m. Monday at his home and charged him with felonious assault. He will be arraigned Wednesday morning in Warren Municipal Court, which was closed today for Veteran’s Day.

Police said Moore called 911 at 8:41 a.m. to report that David Petrosky of Hall Street, someone with whom he was familiar, had been shot in the head and might be dead.

Petrosky was taken to Cleveland Metro Health Medical Center, where he remained in critical condition today.

In an interview with Moore later, Moore “gave an account of what happened” that described Moore’s involvement in the shooting, said Warren Detective Wayne Mackey.

“He gave us enough reason to charge him,” Mackey said. Police said they recovered the .45-caliber semiautomatic firearm that was used in the shooting, as well as a rifle.
