hopefully the above link works, let me know if it doesn't. what happened is that the officer blocked an SUV pulling out of a driveway-the driver (or passenger) came out and started shooting (that is where channel 19 and the cleveland plain dealer differ). the officer was hit in the face and the leg-once in the face and twice in the leg(s). the suspects were caught. Interstate 90 was shut down so that the officer's family could go to the hospital. it is a fluid situation right now.

Tough and hard for the family- prayers go out to them.Been following some of the past news regarding officers in Ohio-where's the public outcry when this happens?????(plenty of people complaining when an officer shoots a suspect)........

RIP Officer West. It's been a rough week for LEO's in Ohio.
