YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — After suffering a gunshot wound to the head, an Ohio man apparently took matters into his own hands and drove himself to the emergency room, police said.
According to The Vindicator and WFMJ, the incident occurred about 12:30 p.m. Sunday near the intersection of Pasadena and South avenues in Youngstown. The man said he had just parked his mother’s car, a Chevy Trailblazer, in a driveway when two people clad in masks drove by, Youngstown police said. One of the people inside the passing vehicle opened fire, striking the victim’s head, The Vindicator reported.
The victim said he called an ambulance, but it still hadn’t arrived several minutes later, according to the news outlets. He then drove to his mother’s home, police said. His mother told him to go to the emergency room right away and accompanied him as he drove to nearby St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, WFMJ reported.
Police responded to the hospital, spoke to the victim and discovered six bullet holes in the Chevy, according to WFMJ. As of Wednesday, no one had been arrested in connection with the case, the TV station reported.
