Man, I can’t even take a few weeks off without something major happening! Here are just a few of the things that have transpired while I was away:

The local ABC affiliate in Youngstown, WYTV Channel 33, is reporting that Jamel Turner was shot while riding in the back seat of a Chevrolet Blazer, Friday night.

Turner, a 6-foot-3, 210-pound senior defensive end who committed to play for Ohio State back in December of 2008, suffered gun shot wounds to his left ankle and right hip while traveling with a 32-year man, Ramses Terry, and Turner’s twin brother, Jamal, as the three were traveling southbound on I-680 just south of downtown near the Williamson Ave. interchange. Shortly thereafter, the trio drove to the St. Elizabeth Health Center on the near-north end of town where Jamel was treated for his injuries.
