FINDLAY, Ohio-Findlay police reported that an officer shot a juvenile during a foot pursuit on Monday evening after the juvenile allegedly fired at the officer. The juvenile, whose age has not been disclosed, is in critical but stable condition at a hospital. The incident began around 6:28 p.m. when officers responded to Bernard Park for reports of juveniles consuming alcohol. Upon arrival, one male juvenile fled, and during the chase, he reportedly fired a gun at the pursuing officer, who then returned fire. The police provided first aid before the juvenile was taken to a hospital in Findlay and later transferred to a Toledo-area hospital. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is now leading the investigation, and details about the other two juveniles involved, as well as the officer’s status, remain unclear.
