A police sergeant responding to a 911 call about a break-in and gunshots at an Ohio home was fatally shot, and the suspect and two other people also died, authorities said.
Four other officers and a police dog were hurt in the shooting Sunday night in Rittman, about 40 miles south of Cleveland, authorities said.
“Upon arrival at the scene, officers came under immediate gunfire,” a joint statement from Rittman Police Chief Robert Shows and the sheriffs in Wayne and Medina counties said.
Sgt. Scott Ries, a 10-year veteran of the Rittman Police Department, was killed, the statement said.
