3 Ohio officers fired, shooter who died after the location of lunch time, said the police

Three Ohio police officers were slaughtered, two several times, when a shooter opened fire on two of them when he ate a pizza lunch in their patrol cars on Wednesday, said Lorain police chief.

The shooter, who, according to the police, had been fatally killed on the scene, had an “arsenal” of weapons and “waited” when he opened fire on the pair of patrol vehicles parked around 1:05 pm, said acting police chief Michael, failing.

Mayor Jack Bradley said: “It’s a tragic day in the city of Lorain.”

Two officers had bought a pizza and were parked side by side in their patrol cars at the female on avenue Missouri when the shooter, who was also parked in clarity, opened fire, said failure.

One of these officers was shot in hand, and the second was shot down several times, said failure. A third officer who heard the call for help and led to help was also shot down several times, he said.

The two officers who have been killed several times were put forward in a Cleveland hospital. They were in critical condition, said Bradley.

The investigation is managed by the Elyria police service, a neighboring city, because it was a shooting involving an officer, officials said.

The shooter was only identified on Wednesday as a 28 -year -old white man with a last known address in Lorain.

“It was an ambush situation,” Elyria police chief James Welsh told journalists.

The shooter opened fire on the police with a “high power rifle,” said Welsh. Police turned fire, he said.

The shooting took place in an unmanned industrial park that has walking trails and streets, said failure.

The police who answered the call for help charged the police injured in patrol vehicles and led them to the hospital, he said.

Ohio governor Mike Dewine described the shooting a “horrible shot involving an officer in Lorain, who seems to have been a targeted attack on the police”.

“Fran and I pray for the three officers of the Lorain police department who have been killed in the exercise of their functions today, and our thoughts are also with their families, their friends and their colleagues in the northeast of Ohio,” said Dewine.

He was asked if he had information on the shooter and gave a frank response.

“I have no idea who he is, and I don’t care,” said failure.

Lorain and Elyria are cities of around 65,000 and 53,000 to around 25 miles west of Cleveland.
