Suspect caught in Ohio apartment complex shooting; 2 injured


MASON, Ohio (AP) — A suspect is in custody in a shooting at an apartment complex in southwest Ohio that left a sheriff's deputy and another person wounded, officials said early today.

The suspect in the shooting, 19-year-old Mohammed Abdou Laghaoui, was captured at about 5 a.m. by authorities not far from the apartment complex in Deerfield Township after a seven-hour manhunt, Lt. John Faine of the Warren County Sheriff's Office said.

No further information about how the suspect was caught was immediately available. The sheriff planned a news conference later Friday.

Faine said the female deputy who was shot while responding to a report of a domestic situation at the apartment complex at about 9:45 p.m. Thursday has been treated and released from a hospital.

Another person also was shot and taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. There was no immediate word on that person's condition.

The names of the shooting victims were not immediately released.
