BEDFORD, OH — As reported by Cleveland 19 News, police have filed charges against a man following a shooting that left two people injured near Central Primary School earlier this week.
Authorities identified the suspect as Carl Jeffrey, who now faces two counts of felonious assault. He is currently being held at the Solon City Jail.
The incident occurred Monday morning around 10:30 a.m. in the 800 block of Washington Street. According to Bedford Police, both a man and a woman were struck by gunfire during the attack. Emergency responders transported the victims for treatment, and officials later confirmed their conditions had stabilized. Their names have not been made public.
