Youngstown police link two shootings that injured three

YOUNGSTOWN — Police now know that the shooting of a teen girl on the South Side Friday evening and the shootings of two women who went to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital are connected.

Detective Jerry Fulmer of the Youngstown Police Department said Monday the victim found at a home in the 100 block of Willis Avenue with a gunshot wound to the neck was a juvenile and that the two other females are in their early 20s.

Police were called to the Willis Avenue home at 6:57 p.m. and found the juvenile victim. She was taken to the hospital.

The juvenile and one of the adult females are still in the hospital but are expected to survive, Fulmer said. The juvenile, who was a sophomore at Chaney High School, according to a report, was in stable condition Friday night.

It is still too early to say who will be charged in the shootings, but Fulmer said he expects to file charges in the case. A report states the shootings may have been a result of a school feud.

Police are continuing to investigate.
