Announcement by the Allen County Sheriff's Office on September 5:
During the past two weekends, two different homes have been struck by gunfire on west side, rural Allen County roads in the same general area. Other residences in the area have reported gunfire at night and hearing bullets strike trees and signs around their homes.

If someone is killed or injured by your deliberately negligent actions you are likely going to face criminal charges ranging anywhere from felonious assault to murder. Please consider the danger you place innocent families, travelers, and yourself in with your careless actions.
If you have any information related to these shooting incidents, please contact the Sheriff's Office Detective Bureau at 419-227-3535. You can also contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 419-229-STOP (7867).

It is our sincere hope that members of the Ohio legislature realize the importance and significance of the “NO” vote on Issue #1 on August 8, 2023. The citizens of Ohio said they want their voice heard in regards to state policies, laws and constitution.
We want elected officials who will work for the public good, not the party good!
