Warren man suffers gunshot would to the leg

WARREN

A 19-year-old city man suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and was treated at ValleyCare Trumbull Memorial Hospital for what he called a “drive-by” shooting on Parkman Road Northwest at 9 p.m. Tuesday.

When police arrived, the man was yelling on the sidewalk in front of the garden center at Kmart, 2485 Parkman Road. He had a gunshot wound to the calf of his leg but he avoided answering any questions about what happened.

Police followed a blood trail to behind the store near the store’s loading docks. Police collected evidence at the scene, including $1,036 in cash, du-rag and other articles of clothing belonging to the victim. Police also found five bullet casings.

It is the second time in two days that gunfire has injured a young man in Warren.

A 27-year-old Logan Avenue man with a concealed-carry permit narrowly avoided being hit by gunfire Monday night during a shootout by an 18-year-old man who fired multiple times at him on Logan Avenue.

The victim also fired his gun at the suspect. The victim was hit by breaking glass, causing a laceration, but neither man was hit by a bullet.
