North Lima lawyer shot in argument over dog

Staff report

NORTH LIMA

A prominent local lawyer was admitted to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital after being shot in the leg with a .38-caliber revolver at his Lynn Road residence and suffering a non-life-threatening injury.

A woman shot Dale E. Bricker at 7:19 a.m. Wednesday following an argument.

The argument was over how soon he was to take a dog, unfriendly to strangers, to a kennel before a carpet installation estimator was to arrive at the house, said Carl Frost, Beaver Township police chief.

The woman has not been charged with any crime, but the case is being investigated as a felonious assault.
