Summary
Saint Mary's police and county deputies responded to an early‑morning shooting at the Circle K on North Scribe Street. A 22‑year‑old male suffered a leg wound and a 17‑year‑old male was taken into juvenile custody; the case was forwarded to the county prosecutor for review.
Saint Mary's police officers and Old Lakes County sheriff's deputies responded to a shooting at the Circle K convenience store, 105 North Scribe Street, in the early hours of Saturday, April 26, the council heard.
"On Saturday, April 26 at 04:30 in the morning, our office was contacted in regards to an individual that was jumped at Circle K, 105 North Scribe Street," Sergeant Boos told council. He said officers later received a report that a gunshot had been fired and found a 22-year-old male with a gunshot wound to his leg in the store's east parking lot. The fire department transported the injured man first to Joint Township District Memorial Hospital for initial treatment and later to another hospital for additional care.
Boos said investigators identified witnesses and persons who fled the scene. "Through investigation, between leads, witness statements, and evidence, we were able to determine who these individuals may be," he said. A 17-year-old male from Columbus was located and transported to the West Central Ohio Juvenile Detention Center in Troy. The case has been sent to the Obliques County Prosecutor's Office for review; no formal charges had been filed at the time of the report.
Council members asked whether the firearm's origin was known; Boos said he could not discuss that detail at the time. He also confirmed some involved parties were local to St. Marys. The sergeant told council the victim's injuries were non-life-threatening and the investigation remained active.
