2 arrested in deadly Ohio frat house shooting

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Two men have been arrested and charged in a shooting at an Ohio fraternity house party that killed one student and injured 11 people early Sunday just north of the Youngstown State University campus.

Police Chief Jimmy Hughes said each man, in his early 20s, is charged with aggravated murder, shooting into a house and 11 counts of felonious assault.

Hughes said earlier that the suspected gunmen were involved in a dispute at the party, left, then returned and began firing outside the crowded house. The 11 people hurt ranged in age from 17 to 31. Eight have been released from the hospital.

The Mahoning County coroner's office identified the dead student as Jamail E. Johnson, 25. He was shot once in the head and multiple times in his hips and legs, said Dr. Joseph Or, a forensic pathologist with the coroner's office. An autopsy is planned today.

The school in northeast Ohio said in a statement that university president Cynthia Anderson met students and their families at the hospital and called it "a sad day for the YSU family." The shooting happened at a two-story brick house in a neighborhood of once-elegant homes, many of which are boarded up. No one answered a knock at the door yesterday afternoon.

A neighbor, Rodger Brown, 54, said the house and an adjacent home with Greek lettering indicating a fraternity often have parties on Friday and Saturday nights but had caused no problems.

"It's a nice, quiet neighborhood," he said. Brown said men living in the house were friendly to him and once offered him a beer and a ride as he walked home last fall. -AP
