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

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?

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
