Strongsville Police Blotter: Source of Gunshots Still a Mystery

Several gunshots reported shortly before 7 a.m. Wednesday startled a neighborhood and sent police looking for their source.

Intruder Flees

Burglary Discovered Late

Indoor Voice, Please

An anonymous caller told police a Drake Road couple has loud arguments several times a week and was having one about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday.
