AKRON, Ohio - Akron police said a store owner shot a suspect as he tried to break into his shop overnight.
The owner of Pioneer Market on Pioneer Street said he was sleeping in the store at about 3 a.m. when he heard a knock at the front door and then the opening of a rear door.
Police said the owner confronted the suspects with a shotgun and fired a shot.
Several minutes later, officers received a call from Akron General Medical Center about a patient with a gunshot wound to the left arm. Johnny R. Rollyson, 19, of Beardsley Street in Akron, was identified as one of the suspects involved in the burglary at the market.
Rollyson had been charged with burglary.
The second person has not been identified. The case is still under investigation.

Strangely enough, I live just North of Akron, and I used to work with a Vietnam Vet, with red hair, name of Rollyson! Wonder,,,,,, Grandson maybe?????
Also, if you read the comments, you will see what a failure Akron’s public schools have been!
Why was Fox news saying this happened in Elyria, Ohio.
Ignorance I guess?
I figured it out. I heard it on fox cable national, but here is a similiar fox local story on Elyria when a owner was shot first.
Go Girl!
