Closing arguments are expected Monday in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court for a man accused of shooting at two city police officers last January.

Testimony wrapped up Friday in the trial of Gerald Wainwright, 26, who faces two counts of felonious assault on a police officer and a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Police said Wainwright fired at two city police officers who tried to question him after they spotted him walking in a South Side street wearing a mask and carrying a backpack. The officers returned fire, wounding Wainwright.
