3 face charges of shooting into home

ELLWOOD CITY, PA.

Officers arrested three men for purportedly randomly shooting a firearm into a West Lawrence Avenue home early Saturday morning.

According to the police report, victims said they discovered various bullet holes in their residence, which they were in during the time of the shooting about 6:30 a.m. A 3-year-old boy also was in the home at that time, reports said.

Officers observed a car speeding from the area, where an officer heard several gunshots. After stopping the vehicle, they found Dylan Main, 19, Devin Myers, 19, both of Ellwood City, and Shaquone Lockett, 20, of Youngstown, had a semiautomatic rifle and pistol in the vehicle.

They are charged with aggravated assault, discharging a firearm into an occupied structure, criminal conspiracy, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person. They are in the Lawrence County Jail. A magistrate judge set bond for each man set at $50,000.

John Reiter, Youngstown Fire Department acting battalion chief, said a Saturday morning fire destroyed a building at 3064 McGuffey Road on the East Side.

“The fire station is just right down the street, and when [firefighters] arrived, it was fully engulfed in fire,” he said. Firefighters arrived about 4 a.m., and the last unit left at 6 a.m.

Reiter said he believes the building once was a church but doesn’t know for sure. No one was inside the structure during the time of the fire. He said the fire is under investigation.
