An Ohio TV reporter is fighting for her life after being shot by a gunman who subsequently killed himself.
Winnie Dortch was seriously injured in Monday’s shooting in Lakewood, Ohio, which cops described as a domestic dispute, according to The Express Tribune.
Lakewood police said they received calls of two people arguing around Clifton Boulevard just before 8am.
Cops rushed to a house to discover the gravely-injured journalist on the sidewalk, alongside the shooter.
He had turned the gun on himself and was pronounced dead at the scene. The shooter has not been named. Lakewood detectives say he and Dortch were ‘familiar’ with one another but have yet to comment further on the relationship.
Dortch was rushed to MetroHealth Medical Center in serious condition.
Dortch describes herself as a mom-of-one on her X account. Her colleagues have shared their shock at the incident and wished her a speedy recovery.
She has been a multimedia journalist with Cleveland News 19 for over two years.
