Shots fired at Austintown house

AUSTINTOWN

A township home was shot up early Wednesday.

A home in the 5400 block of Argonne Drive had two bullet holes in a front window, one in the front door, and a vehicle also was hit by bullets sometime between 12:01 and 12:45 a.m. today.

Township police were called to the home at 12:45 a.m. and found nine spent .45-caliber shell casings and six spent .380-caliber shell casings.

Two people were home and awake at the time of the incident but were not injured. Township detectives are investigating the case, and a police blotter said suspects fled on foot.

Deadline missed for TCTC report

WARREN

The Trumbull Career and Technical Center missed the deadline by 22 minutes last week to file its campaign finance report with the Trumbull County Board of Elections.

But it isn’t facing any sanctions for it, an elections board official said.

The school, which has a renewal levy on the ballot next week, had $34,533 available when the most recent reporting period began and received $10,759 in contributions. It spent $26,800 and has $18,491 left in its account.

Most of its expenditures were payments to marketing and public-relations firm VC Rubenstein Associates of Liberty — $26,076 — for advertisements, letters, yard signs, postage, envelopes, printing and preparations for a golf outing, the report says.
