According to witness statements, a \u201cyoung, light-skinned, Black male\u201d walked into the home and opened fire, police said. At least one of the men was shot twice in the head, another was shot at least twice in the back, and two women were shot in the \u201clower extremities,\u201d according to Struthers police Chief Tim Roddy.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>The child, Rowan Sweeney, died \u201ctragically\u201d in his mother\u2019s arms, Chief Roddy said. The four adults \u2014 Cassandra Mariscola, 20; Alexis Schneider, 22; Yarnell Green, 20; and Andre McCoy, 20, were taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital. All four adult victims were friends, police said.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>\u201cThe two males are in critical condition, but the two women are OK,\u201d Chief Roddy said. \u201cThe suspects left prior to our arrival. We didn\u2019t stop processing the scene probably until about 10 a.m., and we\u2019ve been following several leads going on 14 hours. So far no suspects have been arrested.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>The victims reportedly told police they did not know the gunman, who ran away from the home. Chief Roddy said the suspect likely fled on foot. \u201cNeighbors heard gunshots, but no one saw a vehicle driving away or anyone else,\u201d the chief said.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>He said there didn\u2019t appear to be forced entry and that the gunman likely walked in the front door, which leads to the living room.
