YOUNGSTOWN — The Youngstown Police Department says the Youngstown police officer involved in an officer-involved shooting Thursday on the South Side is “recovering from the gunshot wound he sustained while on duty and is stable.”

Capt. Jason Simon of the detective division of the Youngstown Police Department stated Tuesday that he cannot release any other information on the incident than that.

Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation Press Secretary Steve Irwin confirmed Tuesday that the Youngstown Police Department requested BCI to investigate Thursday’s officer-involved shooting that occurred “in the 4000 block of Rush Boulevard on the South Side.”

Irwin confirmed that the other person involved in the incident died and that BCI’s investigation is “active and ongoing.”

The Youngstown Police Department released an initial report on its officer-involved shooting. It stated that officers were called to Rush Boulevard on the South Side at 12:34 p.m. for a call about a burglary, prowler and “suspicious male,” but “while on scene, shots were fired and a responding officer was wounded.”

It continues, “Multiple responding agencies arrived and located the suspect in the attic of the house where the exchange of gunfire ensued and the suspect was neutralized.”

The Youngstown report lists about 30 officers who responded to the scene.

On Thursday, a city spokesman said that an unidentified person died in a shootout with police that left an officer injured from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound on the city’s South Side.

Spokesman Andy Resnick said, “The suspect died earlier in a gunfire exchange with police, but it’s unclear at this time if it was self-inflicted.”

The officer was transported to a hospital for treatment.

Police were initially looking for the suspect and later learned the person had died.

Resnick said, “Thank you to the brave men and women of YPD, YFD and personnel from surrounding jurisdictions for their work.”

Schools in the area of the shooting implemented a “controlled release” of students when it was believed the suspect was at large, Resnick said.

Before the suspect was found dead, residents in the vicinity were urged to remain in their homes to allow police to handle the situation.
