POLICE SEEK GUNMEN

Police are looking for two men in connection with a shooting Wednesday afternoon in the 400 block of Barberton Drive.

Just after 5 p.m., police and rescue units were called to that street, where they found Scott E. Sward, 33, shot at least once. He was taken to a local hospital where he underwent surgery. He is expected to recover.

Police are seeking two suspects. Both are described as black, 18 to 20 years old, about 5 feet 10 inches tall with slender builds.

One of the men had short hair and was wearing a black tank top and baggy shorts. The other had an Afro-style haircut and was wearing a white Chicago Bulls T-shirt and baggy shorts.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Solvers at 427-0000. by CNB
