Tips for safer trick-or-treating
Make Halloween a safe treat: Before sending the little goblins out trick-or-treating this weekend, make sure costumes allow for free movement and good vision, use makeup instead of masks and decide a route. Have an adult or older teen go with children. Carry a flashlight or glow stick, stick to your route, cross streets at intersections and don't eat treats while out. At home, check treats for signs of wrapper tampering. For more tips and advice, log onto www.ncpc.org. Source: The National Crime Prevention Council.
Ex-boyfriend sought in double shooting
WEST PRICE HILL - In what Cincinnati police described as domestic violence, two sisters in their early 20s were shot inside an apartment Friday in the 3700 block of Westmont Drive.
The gunman, an ex-boyfriend of one of the women, fled the second-story apartment at Cedarwood Manor on foot after the 6:22 p.m. shooting and remained on the lam late Friday, said Cincinnati police District 3 Sgt. Jeff Brunswick.
Names were not immediately released.
The gunman's ex-girlfriend was shot in the head but the wound appeared to be superficial, Brunswick said. She was in stable condition late Friday at University Hospital, he said.
