Youngstown police investigating two shootings

YOUNGSTOWN — Police are investigating two weekend shootings.

A 21-year-old South Side man told police he was walking from a corner store to his East Ravenwood Avenue home Monday when a maroon car rolled past him and opened fire, hitting him in the arm.

He was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center’s Boardman campus, where it was determined that the wound was not life threatening.

A 21-year-old South Side woman was hit by gunfire Friday when bullets ripped through the walls of her East Florida Avenue home.

The woman told police she was in bed with her three children when she heard about five gunshots and realized she had been shot in the arm. Her 23-year-old boyfriend pulled her and the children from the bed to the floor then called 911.

She was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center, where medical personnel determined she had been grazed by the bullet just below the armpit.
