Two Dead After Officer-Involved Shooting in Middletown, Ohio

Two people died in an incident involving Middletown police officers responding to a domestic violence call on Mohawk Street, where a woman had been shot. Upon arrival, officers identified themselves and began negotiating with a male suspect who then opened fire on them. Officers returned fire, fatally striking the suspect, and upon entering the residence, found both the man and the woman deceased. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations is leading the investigation into the officer-involved shooting, which police describe as a justified use of lethal force after the suspect fired at officers. No officers were injured in the exchange, and authorities have not released the identities of the victims. Police view the incident as isolated and have urged the public to come forward with any information related to the case.
