Man Holding Woman by Neck Gets Fatally Shot by Ohio Police Officer

A Canton police officer fatally shot a suspect who was holding a woman against her will. Officers were called to a house on 22nd Street NW in Canton just before 1 a.m. Wednesday of a 911 hangup. The suspect called 911 a second time, saying he needed an inhaler and that he had a gun. When police arrived, the suspect was in the side yard holding his girlfriend around her neck and body. The man, identified as 24-year-old Hayden Stutz, told officers several times he had a pistol and didn't care what happened, the department said. Officers tried to get Stutz to release the 19-year-old victim, but he refused, police said.
