What sounded to one West Toledo resident like a motorist dealing with a flat tire early Friday was in fact a fatal shooting that led to the lockdown of several schools near Secor and Sylvania avenues. "I was awakened by a series of rapping noises that sounded like somebody had a flat tire; then I looked out the window and didn't see a car or a truck or anything; then I went back to bed," said Chuck Horvath, a retired school principal at the Swanton school district who has lived on Eastbrook Drive near Kingsmoor Drive for 35 years.

Perrysburg Township police are looking for a man who sexually assaulted a woman early yesterday on Oregon Road near the Chrysler Group LLC Toledo Machining Plant.

Troy Teneyck's voice choked with emotion Saturday night as he stood before a candlelit crowd of more than 120 people outside the Lucas County Dog Warden's animal pound on Erie Street. Two months earlier, the Teneyck family dog, a 6-year-old chow named Bear, disappeared from their East Toledo home. And two days after Bear's disappearance, the family learned over the phone that their pet had met a fiery fate in the dog pound's incinerator.
Yvonne Soldan could sense her hard-won, middle-class life slipping away, although she never anticipated the eventual depths of her economic misfortune - a homeless shelter. All was fairly well until February, 2008. Ms. Soldan had been making $19 an hour as a registered nurse and nearing the finale of her mortgage payments on a manufactured home in West Toledo. But that month, she took a nasty fall at work, severely injuring her right knee.
