The woman in Peoria was in a parking lot near her vehicle when five women approached her just before 9 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 27, the Peoria Police Department said in a news release.

The group attacked the woman and stole several items from inside her vehicle before fleeing the scene, officials said.

The woman chased them, crashing into their vehicle at an intersection, police said.

One woman suffered non-life threatening injuries in the crash, the release said.

Police said they arrested five women, ranging from 18 to 22 years old.

One dead after deputy-involved shooting in Greenville County

Chalmers Rogland, Greenville News
One person is dead and no officers were injured in a Wednesday morning officer-involved shooting, according to Greenville County Sheriff Hobart Lewis.

The Sheriff’s Office had confirmed earlier Wednesday morning that deputies responded to 4307 Edwards Rd. in Taylors around 10 a.m. to serve a warrant for a man suspected of threatening his ex-girlfriend, which ultimately resulted in the officer-involved shooting.

The warrant service was based on a call from a woman who said an ex-boyfriend had sent her pictures of a firearm and threatened to harm her. Deputies responded to the Edwards Rd. address with a warrant issued for “unlawful communications.”

Lewis said that deputies tried to stop the suspect, who was in a vehicle, but he did not cooperate.

Tuscarawas deputies kill armed man at Mineral City home

Nancy Molnar, The Times-Reporter
MINERAL CITY ? Deputies fatally shot a 43-year-old man who fired a handgun at them Wednesday morning outside a home in Mineral City, according to Tuscarawas County Sheriff Orvis Campbell.

He said Everett M. Martin was killed in the exchange.

The sheriff said the confrontation happened after deputies were called at 9:25 a.m. to a home on East Third Street by a woman who said a man was at her home in violation of a protection order.

“She was hiding inside the residence in fear,” Campbell said. “The initial deputies got on scene. They ended up having to locate the guy in a back, fenced-in area. Some of them had to climb over the fence to get in. He said he had a weapon.”

The deputies tried to de-escalate the situation, the sheriff said. Two different deputies spoke to him, trying to get him to calm down.
