CANAL LEWISVILLE, Ohio (AP) — A man fatally shot two people at a home and then led police on a car chase
that ended when his vehicle crashed on a highway, authorities said.
The shooting in Canal Lewisville occurred shortly before 5:45 p.m. Monday, according to the Coshocton
County Sheriff’s Office.
A man was found dead in the home, while a seriously injured woman was found in the front yard. She was
taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead there a short time later. Both victims were shot multiple
times, authorities said, but their names and further details on the shootings were not disclosed.
Authorities were told the shooting suspect had left the area in a car, and that vehicle was soon spotted
on nearby highway. A chase soon ensued, and the man was taken into custody after the car crashed. His
name has not been released, and it wasn’t clear Tuesday what charges he may be facing.
A motive for the shooting remains under investigation.
