YOUNGSTOWN — A man suffered a gunshot wound to his left side inside of a shed behind a house on Cabot Street on the West Side about 12:20 p.m. Friday, but a woman who lived there said she did not know him.

When an officer spoke to the victim, the victim changed his story several times and appeared to not want to cooperate with police, a Youngstown police report states.

The “last story” he told officers was that he met a man at “the bus station,” and that the man “brought him along to the house to purchase a gun.”

He said the man and another man were playing with the gun in the shed. One of them dropped the gun, and it fired, striking him in the side, the report states.

He said the shooting took place at about 12:20 p.m.

An officer spoke with a woman who lives in the house. She said her son, who was not home, texted her and said that she should go to the shed because a guy in there had shot himself.

She said she checked and found a man in the shed that she did not know, and he had been shot. She called 911.

Crime scene personnel and detectives came to the scene to investigate.

The victim was taken by ambulance to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, the report states. The report did not indicate whether the victim’s injuries were serious.

SECOND SHOOTING

At 5:20 p.m. Saturday, there was a shooting in the first block of West Dennick Avenue on the North Side. Officers responded and turned the scene over to detectives, the report states.

The report does not indicate whether the victim was male or female or provide any circumstances involving the shooting or indicate how badly injured the victim was.

GLENWOOD ROCKS

Meanwhile, numerous reports were filed involving a man standing in the middle of Glenwood Avenue throwing rocks at passing cars on Saturday afternoon, causing damage to several vehicles.

At 12:26 p.m. Saturday, officers were called to Glenwood at Falls Avenue on the South Side for a bald man in his fifties throwing rocks at passing cars.

Officers were told the man ran off before officers arrived and got into a blue Jeep with North Carolina license plates and drove to Interstate 680, according to a police report.

One victim showed damage to her blue Jeep that the suspect caused. The damage was on her front driver’s window. She was traveling south on Glenwood at the time.

A man in a Toyota Prius had damage to the driver’s side fender, which he said came from the same suspect.

At 12:15 p.m. Saturday, an officer spoke to a person on Glenwood who said he was driving north on Glenwood when he saw someone throw a rock at his car. The rock struck the car on the front passenger door, leaving scrape marks on the car.

PEDESTRIAN STRUCK

At 3:40 p.m. Friday, a pedestrian was struck by a black SUV as he stepped off the sidewalk while walking near Gateway Gas Mart, 2732 Glenwood Ave.

A Youngstown police report states that the man said he did not know what make or model the car was. He was knocked down by the car and cut his left hand on the ground.

He said after being hit, an employee of the store came out and yelled at him to “get off the property,” the report states. The victim said he walked to the nearby Family Dollar store and saw the black SUV fleeing the area, heading north on Glenwood Avenue. He said the driver was a heavyset woman.

THREATS AT HOMES

Police were called to a home on East Boston Avenue, Irma Avenue a couple of miles south and then Shady Run Road starting at about 5:12 p.m. Sunday for arguments that led to gunfire, according to a police report.

On East Boston Avenue, officers responded because of gunfire reported by ShotSpotter, which notifies the Youngstown Police Department of gunfire on the South Side.

A person said two carloads of teens and a few adults came to her house to fight her daughter and fired bullets at her house. No one was injured. A witness said people in a gold and a black Chevrolet Equinox left their vehicles on Homestead Avenue and started to approach the woman’s house.

A woman walked out of her house and told them to get away from her property. The group went back to their vehicles and started to fire at her house, she said. Police found a gunshot through a window and another in an upstairs bedroom.

When officers went to Irma Avenue, they spoke with a woman who had called prior to the East Boston Avenue call for a fight. A person said two vehicles pulled up, the same vehicles that were on East Boston Avenue, police were told.

Officers were told that women had been contacting a woman by text messages and social media prior to their arrival, wanting to meet up and fight, the report states.

The woman who spoke to officers said she was not allowed to leave the house, and the females in the cars kept banging on the door and threw trash from the trash can out front before leaving.

When officers went to Shady Run Road, they spoke to another person, who said she was receiving messages from a man who said he was on his way to shoot up her home.

Another person said the issue has been ongoing and involves a woman and ex-boyfriend, and also involves another woman, the report states.
