MIDDLETOWN, Ohio — Two people are dead following an officer-involved shooting in Middletown, according to Daniel Hils of Front Line Advisors.
Hils said officers responded Sunday afternoon to a home in the 3000 block of Mohawk Street after they received reports that a woman had been shot inside a home.
When the officers arrived, an unidentified suspect fired a weapon at them, Hils said. Officers attempted to negotiate with the suspect. The suspect continued to threaten officers with his firearm. In response, officers fired their guns as well, striking the suspect.
Hils reports that the suspect died from his injuries.
The woman who was shot inside the home was pronounced dead as well.
According to a social media post by the Middletown Division of Police, the victim and suspect were husband and wife.
Hils said no officers were injured in the shooting.
A Ring camera at a nearby home captured the sound of six gunshots. In the video, multiple neighbors are gathered near Middletown first responder vehicles.
