LAKEMORE, Ohio (AP) — A dispute between two roommates ended with one fatally shooting the other, authorities said.

The shooting in Lakemore occurred around 4 p.m. Monday.

The argument between the victim, identified only as a 63-year-old man, and his roommate began as a verbal dispute inside their residence, authorities said. The two soon went outside where the argument continued, and the victim was shot in the chest a short time later.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
