CPD still looking for gun used in shooting incident
By Mike BergerCanton detectives have asked for the public’s help in locating a gun that was thrown from a car involved in a shooting in the early morning hours on Sunday, May 17.
Specifically, police believe the gun may have been thrown on Bay Road somewhere between Cobb’s Corner and Route 106 in Mansfield.
