Teen faces charges

YOUNGSTOWN

A teen is in custody after shots were fired at a city police officer about 4:30 p.m. Sunday on the South Side.

Officers were called to Hilton Avenue for gunfire and were looking for someone who had crashed a car after being chased by police, reports said.

Reports said officers spotted a male running through several yards and found 17-year-old Evon Cruz of Forest Glen on the back porch of an East Ravenwood Avenue home.

Reports said Cruz continued running and threw a gun in a yard before he was caught on East Auburndale Avenue.

Reports said Cruz told police he did not mean to shoot the gun and ‘‘he hoped the officer was OK.” Reports said one of the department’s cruisers had two bullet holes in it but no one was injured.

Cruz was taken to the Martin P. Joyce Juvenile Justice Center on charges of carrying a concealed weapon and felonious assault on a police officer.
