One High School, Five Students Fatally Shot
The killings came in rapid succession.
On a cold night in late January, a high school football player was found unconscious and bleeding from a single gunshot wound. Two weeks later, a 16-year-old student was killed by what the authorities said may have been a stray bullet. Four days after that, a co-captain of the dance team was shot dead. In early March, a 15-year-old who last attended classes in the fall died from gunshot wounds.
And last week, Anthony J. Thompson Jr., 17, was shot and killed by a police officer in a brief scuffle inside a cramped bathroom on the same campus, becoming the fifth student at Austin-East Magnet High School this year to die of gun violence.
Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs had to wait a few hours longer than anticipated to deliver his third budget address as morning storms washed out the original plans. That was fine. As far as budgets go, he’s learned to be flexible.
Coming off a shrunken pandemic budget from a year ago, Jacobs proposed a $893.5 million budget Tuesday. Given the challenges and uncertainties of the past year, this budget was a reminder of normalcy: no splashy buys, no tax increases but raises for county employees across the board including a more sizable bonus for sheriff’s office employees and overall strong fiscal health.

WARREN A Trumbull County sheriff deputy used the beach area at Mosquito Lake State Park to help him become a world martial arts champion.
Deputy John Barhoover, a graduate of Lakeview High School and Hiram College, took first place in the traditional beach poomsae category at the fourth annual Lents Taekwondo Worldwide Online Sports Poomsae Open 2021. Poomsae is a taekwondo term meaning a defined pattern of defense-and-attack motions.
For half a decade, Barhoover, an Air Force veteran who was deployed to Iraq, has been training under masters Justin Taylor of Canfield and Darrin Warren of Fowler, who used to have a martial arts school in Champion. Barhoover said the taekwondo experience has “definitely helped him” in his deputy job.
