An Ohio mail carrier was shot and killed in his U.S. Postal Service van on Saturday in what police are calling a "targeted attack".
According to the Warren Police Department in Warren, Ohio, officers were dispatched to the scene around 1:44 p.m. Saturday March 2nd. When officers arrived, they found 33-year-old USPS employee Jonte Davis suffering from a gunshot wound.
Police said Davis had been shot while inside his USPS van by a suspect in another vehicle. Officers performed "live-saving measures on scene" and Davis was transported to Trumbull Regional Medical Center, where he later died as a result of his injuries, according to police.
