3 Lorain Police Officers Shot in Suspected Ambush

Lorain, Ohio– In a tragic ambush on Wednesday afternoon, three Lorain Police Department officers were shot, with two suffering serious injuries. Authorities confirm the officers were targeted in a planned attack involving high-powered weaponry.

According to officials, the suspect—described as a 28-year-old male—was lying in wait near River Bend Drive, an isolated area that dead-ends off Colorado Avenue. Officers Phillip Wagner and Peter Gale were having lunch in their patrol vehicles when the gunman opened fire.

The suspect reportedly had an “arsenal of weapons” and used a high-powered rifle to initiate the assault. Officer Wagner and Officer Brent Payne were critically injured and were airlifted to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland. Officer Gale sustained a hand injury and was treated at Mercy Health – Lorain Hospital.

Police returned fire, and the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. It remains unclear if he was killed by law enforcement or took his own life. Authorities executed a search warrant at the suspect’s home on Lakeview Boulevard shortly after the incident.

Due to the scope of the attack, the Elyria Police Department is leading the investigation, with support from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Multiple agencies, including the Elyria Fire Department, Avon Police, and Cleveland Police, provided critical assistance during the emergency response.

Lorain Mayor Jack Bradley expressed gratitude for the rapid support from state and federal leaders, including Governor Mike DeWine and Senator Jon Husted. “It is a tragic day for Lorain, but we are a strong city and we will move forward,” he said.

Governor DeWine described the incident as a “targeted attack on law enforcement,” adding that it underscores the risks officers face daily.

Lorain city offices will remain closed Thursday and Friday to allow the community and department to recover.

President Trump discusses the new U.S.-Japan trade deal at the White House, calling it a historic economic win for American industries ahead of rising global tariffs.

President Donald Trump Announces Massive U.S.-Japan Trade Deal

President Donald Trump has confirmed a significant trade agreement with Japan, avoiding the previously threatened 24% tariff hike by securing a lower 15% rate. Trump made the announcement on July 22 through a post on Truth Social and during a White House gathering with Republican lawmakers.

“This is a massive deal, possibly the largest in history between the United States and Japan,” Trump said, praising the agreement as a major win for American workers and industries. The agreement comes just days ahead of the August 1 deadline, when higher tariffs are set to impact global trade.

While exact details of the deal remain undisclosed, Trump revealed that Japan will invest $550 billion into the U.S., with America expected to receive 90% of the profits. Additionally, Japan has agreed to ease restrictions on imports of U.S. products including automobiles, rice, and other key agricultural exports.

Japan, currently the fourth-largest trading partner of the U.S., joins a growing list of countries with which the Trump administration has struck bilateral trade deals. These include recent agreements with the Philippines, United Kingdom, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba confirmed early Wednesday from Tokyo that his government had received initial reports from negotiators in Washington, though he refrained from offering public comment on the specifics of the agreement.

Trump had previously introduced a universal 10% tariff back in April, delaying broader trade sanctions to allow room for negotiation. With the global tariff increase on the horizon, this Japan deal is seen as a strategic move to stabilize economic ties and secure American trade interests.

As U.S. trade policy continues to evolve, this landmark agreement marks a significant development in the country’s economic strategy.

Former Ohio State Wrestling Star Sammy Sasso Arrested in Pennsylvania on Gun and Drug Charges

Former Ohio State wrestling star and current Lehigh University coach Sammy Sasso was arrested in Pennsylvania on July 16, 2025, after authorities discovered loaded firearms and suspected marijuana products during a traffic stop.

According to the affidavit, Sasso, 25, was pulled over by Nazareth Borough Police for driving a vehicle with expired registration. Upon questioning, Sasso admitted to having a firearm in the driver’s side door. He did not have a valid concealed carry permit.

Further inspection led officers to detect the scent of marijuana and spot dispensary-labeled packaging. A loaded Beretta .40 caliber handgun was recovered from the door compartment. Sasso confirmed he did not possess a Pennsylvania medical marijuana card.

With his consent, police searched the vehicle and found two THC vape cartridges and a container with marijuana residue. Upon checking the trunk, officers located a red Ohio State backpack. After initially refusing consent to search it, Sasso reportedly admitted it contained additional firearms.

A search warrant was obtained, and three more semi-automatic handguns were recovered. Sasso now faces multiple charges, including:

  • Four counts of unlawful firearm possession
  • One count of controlled substance possession
  • One count of possession of drug paraphernalia
  • Vehicle code violation for expired registration

His preliminary court hearing is scheduled for July 30, 2025.

This legal incident comes just months after Sasso began his coaching career at Lehigh University. He retired from competitive wrestling in early 2025 after recovering from a near-fatal shooting in Columbus in 2023. Sasso was attacked during an attempted carjacking near Ohio State, resulting in multiple surgeries and a long recovery.

Despite the setback, he returned to the sport in late 2024 before retiring. Sasso ended his Buckeye career as a two-time Big Ten Champion and four-time All-American, one of the most decorated wrestlers in Ohio State history.

Air Quality Alert Issued for Central Ohio for July 23 Due to Elevated Ozone Levels

The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) has announced an air quality alert for July 23, warning residents in Franklin, Licking, Delaware, and Fairfield counties of potentially unhealthy ozone pollution levels for sensitive individuals.

According to MORPC’s statement released on July 22, the Air Quality Index (AQI) is expected to reach 101, placing it in the “unhealthy for sensitive groups” category. The air quality scale, which runs from 0 to 500, uses this number to indicate elevated pollution levels.

The increase in ozone pollution is attributed to a ridge of high pressure that will reduce atmospheric mixing. Coupled with sunny skies, high temperatures in the 90s, and lingering wildfire smoke, these conditions are expected to intensify ozone formation and particle pollution across the Central Ohio region.

MORPC advises sensitive populations including children, the elderly, and individuals with asthma or chronic respiratory conditions like COPD to minimize outdoor exposure, especially during morning hours.

Dave Yost to Appeal Judge’s Ruling Declaring Ohio’s School Voucher Program Unconstitutional

Columbus, Ohio — Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced Monday that the state will appeal a judge’s recent ruling which deemed Ohio’s school voucher program unconstitutional. The announcement came during a press conference held alongside House Speaker Matt Huffman and several school choice advocates.

“We do not agree with that decision. That is why we have appeals courts,” said Yost. “The program remains the law of the land for the 2025-2026 school year, and families should continue making the best educational choices for their children.”

The ruling, issued in late June, followed a lawsuit filed by more than 200 public school districts. These districts argue the program violates the state constitution by diverting critical funds away from public schools, thereby compromising the requirement to maintain a “thorough and efficient” system of public education.

Speaker Huffman disputed the ruling, claiming the state constitution supports funding for religious education and calling the legal effort by public schools “a fool’s errand.”

Rabbi Eric “Yitz” Frank, President of School Choice Ohio, stressed the real-world impact of the court’s decision, noting that more than 160,000 students are enrolled in private schools using state-funded scholarships. “At the end of the day, hundreds of thousands of families are relying on AG Yost to defend school choice,” Frank said.

Yost confirmed that his office will formally file the appeal on Wednesday.

Columbus City Council May Cancel Sutphen Fire Truck Deal Amid Ongoing Union Strike

The Columbus City Council is reconsidering a contract with Sutphen Corporation, a Dublin-based fire truck manufacturer, due to a strike by unionized workers. The contract, originally approved in May, was for the purchase of a new ladder truck. However, council members are expected to vote on rescinding the agreement during their July 21 meeting, citing the company’s refusal to meet specific labor-related contract terms.

The city sought guarantees allowing termination of the deal if a labor strike caused delivery delays or if non-union workers—often called “scabs” were used. These conditions were not met.

In light of the unresolved labor dispute, the council is now considering a new $2.59 million contract with Atlantic Emergency Solutions for a Pierce Manufacturing ladder truck. This proposal is slightly higher than Sutphen’s $2.51 million offer, including a $33,000 delivery fee.

Tensions escalated after the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 67 raised concerns about Columbus’s aging fire truck fleet and called for a comprehensive vehicle replacement plan. Union president Steven Stein criticized the city in April for underfunding emergency equipment for years.

Meanwhile, around 85 Sutphen employees represented by Teamsters Local 284 have been on strike since late May after working without a contract since October. Teamsters President Mark Vandak claims the company retaliated after the union spoke before the City Council, alleging Sutphen withdrew a previous proposal in response to the union’s public comments.

The Teamsters have since filed multiple unfair labor practice complaints, which are under investigation by the National Labor Relations Board. The strike, which started in Dublin, has now spread to Sutphen’s Hilliard and Urbana locations.

Terrelle Pryor NIL Lawsuit Dismissed by Federal Judge in Major NCAA Case

A federal judge has dismissed Terrelle Pryor’s NIL lawsuit against the NCAA, the Big Ten Conference, Ohio State University, and Learfield Communications, marking a pivotal development in the debate over college athlete compensation.

According to court documents, Chief U.S. District Judge Sarah D. Morrison ruled to dismiss the case on the basis of timing and immunity. The court determined that Pryor’s claims, which alleged antitrust violations and unjust enrichment, were filed beyond the four-year statute of limitations and that Ohio State is shielded by sovereign immunity.

Pryor, who starred as a quarterback for the Buckeyes between 2008 and 2010, claimed the defendants profited from his name, image, and likeness (NIL) through commercial broadcasts and advertising—without his consent or compensation.

While the judge acknowledged Pryor’s potential standing under antitrust laws, she concluded the case lacked timely filing and legal weight. This ruling follows a similar lawsuit dismissed earlier this year in New York.

In a statement, the NCAA welcomed the court’s decision, saying:
“The court definitively examined and dismissed the antitrust and unjust enrichment claims, finding them untimely. We hope additional copycat cases will reach the same conclusion.”

Since 2021, new NCAA rules allow current college athletes to profit from NIL deals. Under the House v. NCAA settlement, $2.8 billion will be allocated to athletes denied earnings starting in 2016. Because Terrelle Pryor’s college career ended in 2010, he does not qualify for this compensation.

Pryor has yet to announce whether he plans to appeal the ruling.

What You Need to Know About the Speed Cameras in Brice, Ohio

Brice, Ohio — A small village tucked inside Franklin County has come under renewed attention after Columbus City Council President Shannon Hardin publicly questioned its heavy use of speed cameras. For many drivers in Central Ohio, the Brice speed camera has become a dreaded stop along their commute.

Brice is home to just 117 residents and remains independent despite being surrounded by larger suburbs like Pickerington and Reynoldsburg. According to Police Chief Delano “Bud” Bauchmoyer, residents appreciate their own local governance and fast police response times often within three minutes.

The speed camera is located in a school zone near Brice Christian Academy, where the speed limit drops to 20 mph. It only operates on school days from 7:30–9:00 a.m. and 3:00–5:00 p.m..

Since September 2024, Brice has issued over 11,735 speeding tickets, generating more than $432,000 in revenue. Fines range from $105 to $145 depending on how fast the driver was going, plus a $111 court filing fee, raising total costs for violators to $236 or more.

Chief Bauchmoyer says the camera system is not about profit but safety, and he applies the law evenly, even once issuing a ticket to his own wife. He adds that Brice does not offer bonuses to officers or enforce ticket quotas.

The revenue supports the village’s general fund, which covers services like road maintenance, salaries, and utilities. Brice also shares 40% of ticket revenue with the third-party vendor that provided the cameras.

For now, Brice remains committed to using the system and drivers are advised to slow down when passing through.
