Official: 5 shot at Ohio resort area are treated at hospital

MANSFIELD, Ohio (AP) — A sheriff’s office says five people were shot at a cottage resort area in rural central Ohio.

The Mansfield New Journal reports the shootings happened just after early today at Spruce Hill Inn & Cottages near Mansfield. Richland County sheriff’s Capt. Jim Sweat tells the newspaper all the victims were treated at a local hospital.

Jill Del Greco, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, says three state crime scene agents are assisting. She didn’t have further details.

Messages were left for the sheriff’s office and Spruce Hill Inn, which is described on its website as a place for retreats, meetings, reunions and graduations.

A spokeswoman for OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital said she couldn’t provide any information.
