(Ravenna PD) At 4:35 AM today Ravenna Police Department officers responded to the apartment building at 731 Woodgate Blvd in Ravenna for a reported shooting.

When officers arrived on scene two persons were found deceased from gunshot wounds. A third person was injured, suffering non-life threatening gunshot wounds. 

Early information learned in this investigation indicates an argument between several persons inside one of the apartments at 731 Woodgate Blvd led to weapons being fired. The names of those involved are not released due to notification of next of kin.

Ravenna PD has one person detained and is continuing to locate and interview additional witnesses. Portage County Sheriff's Office responded to the scene to assist Ravenna PD officers. Ohio BCI and the Portage County Coroner's Office are assisting with this investigation as well.
