Yahoo3 days ago
Two Middletown police officers fatally shot a man following what was described as a deadly domestic violence incident, according to the department and a representative for the city's police union.
Officers responded to the 3000 block of Mohawk Street in Middletown around 4:42 p.m. July 13 after a report that a woman was shot by her husband, according to a Middletown police news release.
Dan Hils with Frontline Advisors, a group representing the department's police union, said officers confronted a 60-year-old man who had shot his 53-year-old wife inside the home.
The man presented a gun toward officers and shot toward police, Hils said.
"The police continued to negotiate with him, but when he raised the gun at them again, the police responded in protection of their own lives and the suspect was shot," Hils said.
When officers entered the home, they found both the man and woman had died, the news release states.
Hils said the two officers who discharged their weapons have been placed on leave.
The identities of the officers and the deceased man and woman have not been released.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations has been asked to investigate the officer-involved shooting, according to the department's news release.
This report was updated with information from the department.

Wyndham Clark banned from Oakmont Country Club after damaging locker during 2025 U.S. Open

Wyndham Clark has four missed cuts and only one top-10 finish this year on the PGA Tour. He is currently No. 28 in the world, No. 22 in the Ryder Cup standings and is No. 78 in the FedCup rankings. (Photo by) Wyndham Clark has been suspended from Oakmont Country Club due to the golfer's actions in damaging a locker during the 2025 U.S. Open last month. In a letter obtained by Golf Digest, club president John Lynch informed members that Clark is not allowed on the property and that he can be reinstated if he fulfills certain requirements, like paying for the damage, making a charitable contribution and attending "counseling and/or anger management sessions." 'Several of you have inquired about the situation involving Wyndham Clark and the steps being taken in response to his recent behavior. Following multiple discussions with the USGA and the OCC Board, a decision has been made that Mr. Clark will no longer be permitted on OCC property. "This decision will remain in effect unless formally reconsidered and approved by the Board. "Reinstatement would be contingent upon Mr. Clark fulfilling a number of specific conditions, including full repayment for damages, a meaningful contribution to a charity of the Board's choosing, and the successful completion of counseling and/or anger management sessions. "Thank you for your understanding and continued support." Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, missed the cut after shooting 8-over par through two rounds. He apologized for his actions the following week at the Travelers Championship saying he "made a mistake that I deeply regret" and that he'd "like to move on" from the incident. The issue was brought up last week ahead of the Genesis Scottish Open with Clark calling it "a mistake in a moment of rage." 'Yeah, I mean, I made a mistake in a moment of rage with, you know, a bad year and everything coming together and it just was more than anything a good wake-up call for me to say, 'Hey, you know what, let's get back on track and things aren't that bad,'' Clark said. 'I live a great life and I'm not that far off from playing good golf, so I feel like I've turned a page and we're now maybe on the right track of playing some good golf.' Advertisement During the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, Clark damaged a tee marker as he shot 4-over par and finished tied for 50th. Clark will have plenty of time to fulfill the requirements of his punishment and not miss out of Oakmont's next big tournament. The club doesn't host the U.S. Open again until 2033.

Moose evades capture by wildlife officials in Northern Colorado suburban park

Greeley police and Colorado Parks and Wildlife are asking people to avoid Josephine B. Jones Park after wildlife officials unsuccessfully tried to capture a moose. The young bull moose initially evaded officers Tuesday night and Greeley police said CPW would be back Wednesday morning to try to relocate him somewhere with fewer people. "If you see Bullwinkle here, give him the right-of-way," Greeley police said on social media. "He's obviously earned it!" Police went on to urge people to keep their pets on leashes, not approach or harass the moose -- or any wildlife -- and not try to take a selfie with him. "Stay vigilant on the roads. I guarantee he does not have insurance and your vehicle will lose against him," the department's post continued. "For the love of all things cartoon-don't try to outwit him. That never worked out for Boris and Natasha either."
