A 15 year old boy is hospitalized after an overnight shooting.

Police say the boy may have been shot on State Line Road in Hubbard Township. Officers believe that following the shooting, several other teenagers put the victim in the car and were going to attempt to take him to Sharon Regional Hospital. However, the teens eventually called 911 and pulled off Route 62 to meet an ambulance at the Fuel Express Stop.

There is no word at this hour on the victim's condition.  Police continue to investigate.

"someone's (anyone's) LIFE

Quote "I hope she gets what she deserves & also the daughterr;; if she had something to do with it.. or who ever else" Are you flippin` serious??? She is a young lady who, if she was truly involved with a 21 year old, made a mistake, not unlike any other teen or adult that I have ever known, but I have heard nothing from the police or news that says she was involved, that she invited these kids to the house, nor that she asked for young Robert to be shot. This is sick - the bulk of you are intent on destroying someone's (anyone's) without knowing the facts and waiting for the official investigation to be completed. God forbid anyone of you be put into the situations that these families are in now. You'll never survive the gossip and inuendos when it is your family being tormented and destroyed by them!

Honestly think about it. At two or three am would you check for id if your being attacked at your home? Bottom line. What ever the reason these kids were at that house was not with any good intention. The house was full of small children and the father was being persued. Would you stand by and allow this to happen at your home? The family and the kids that went to the house were no strangers to the law. It is very unfortunite that someone died and my thoughts are with the family but think about it with your heads and not your heart.

heyyy now, no one said this poor innocent child deserved anything. im not on here to argue and fight with his family, im in this for him all the wayyyyyy. i didnt mean for you to take it the wrong wayy.. he was with the wrong ppl, yes, but no it was deserved.. the only thing i meant was just maybe theres a little more to the story, im sure itll come out eventually but why isnt the other side of this saying anythinggg? are they ever going to let us know who did it & what the reasoning was? why someone had enough guts to pull a gun on a young child, better yet, 4 kids. Cops to be more aware of what is going on in neighborhoods than they are dogs barking to loud and small petty crimes. HELLO!?? how many young kids under 20 have died this year just around the area? -- alot. to manyy for people to handle everyone knows someone in a way & is affected in some way. Its the saddest thing everrr... I hope she gets what she deserves & also the daughterr;; if she had something to do with it.. or who ever else. When something like this happens, im the kinda person to look into things & find stuff out because the news makes a big deal out of it.. then never follows up on it , like the kid on jacobs road or the wrecks with the young kids. MY HEARRT & PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE FAMILLLY <33 AMEN.

My heart is just breaking for this family.My prayers go out to you all. I had the opportunity to take care of Bob's neice and nephew all day today. His niece and I prayed for him all day. She is only 5 years old and dosn't really knows what is going on, but she did know something terrible was wrong. It is so sad for any parent to lose a child who had his whole life ahead of him. I did not know him personally but have heard nothing but good things about him. It is too sad also that so many rumors are going around. Just stop and wait for the true and correct information. Justice will be served.

WOW people, this is a horrible tragedy, that happened to a wonderful Family, it is really not necessary to try and figure out details of the incident, by commenting this.. This entire family is in a great deal of pain now, how about we just show our support to them and leave the details for qualified officials to figure out, Rumors really do not help the situation and this family should not have to feel the need to defend him. Please let them have peace, if it was you, you would want it too... Myourchisin, You are amazing people, My heart goes out to all of you
