Although it's great that there were no innocent victims, I hope this isn't some kind of trend.

Re: Alleged active shooter shot in northern Ohio
A little late in seeing this, but this was in Barberton. He was indeed an "active shooter", but didn't shoot until the police arrived. (Someone called in a MWAG. He was at a local storage facility just sitting/standing around - with a gun.) Then he shot at them and they shot back, hitting him, but not incapacitating him. His location was near the Barberton HS, where there was an activity going on - so they locked down the school for a bit and shut down the road in both directions.

So was he wanting to shoot cops? or wanted to get shot by cops?WayneB wrote:A little late in seeing this, but this was in Barberton.

Re: Alleged active shooter shot in northern Ohio
it was never really said. he was under disability for possession of firearms, domestic violence, felony drug conviction if I remember correctly. the staff at the storage facility is who called it in that he was standing around in plain sight with a rifle (if I remember correctly IIRC )
he started shooting when the police showed up, no shots were fired beforehand (IIRC)
if it had been a true planned ambush, I don't think he would have just been standing there for all to see
