Cleveland Police Probe Shooting Involving Suburban Officer

CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) — Cleveland police are investigating a fatal shooting involving officers from the suburb of Maple Heights early Monday.

A brief Cleveland police statement said its officers were called at around 4:15 a.m. “to assist Maple Heights Police who had been involved in an officer involved shooting."

A man with a gunshot wound was taken to University Hospital and pronounced dead, the statement said, adding that no officers were injured and a gun was found at the scene.

The name of the person who was killed and other details weren’t immediately released.

The statement said Maple Heights police had been chasing a man in a vehicle they suspected of shooting into homes in the suburb.

WEWS-TV reported that Maple Heights police had earlier responded to a home that was struck by about two dozen bullets. One shot also went through the front bedroom of a neighbor's home, narrowly missing a sleeping woman and child, the station reported. It was unclear whether anyone was injured.

Neighbors said the home had also been the target of a drive-by shooting several months ago, the station reported.
