(St. Clair Township, Ohio) A shooting in St. Clair Township, Ohio Wednesday afternoon left both a four-year-old girl and the suspect dead as well as a police officer injured. A man, later identified as thirty-year-old Joseph Como, called police about a possible mental health issue and tried to shoot police after talking with them. Police fired shots back at him on a street close to both St. Clair Avenue and Foulks Drive and Como died as a result of the shooting. Four-year-old Rosalie Martin was shot at a nearby dentist’s office and died shortly after the incident. Detective Dakota Wetzel is now in stable condition in Pittsburgh’s UPMC Presbyterian Hospital’s intensive care unit. A vigil was held on Thursday for both Martin and Wetzel.
