US Marshal shot serving warrant in Ohio; suspect also shot

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — A U.S. Marshal was shot Wednesday in Ohio while serving an arrest warrant, as was the person the officer was pursuing, authorities said.

The officer was shot in Canton while tracking a suspect wanted in another state, U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott said.

Canton Police Chief Jack Angelo said at a news conference that U.S. Marshals were trying to arrest a man at an apartment complex when he came out firing a gun.

The officer is expected to recover, Angelo said.

The condition of the suspect wasn’t immediately available.

Both were taken to hospitals, Angelo said.
