MASSILLON, Ohio — Two teenagers were found dead Friday with gunshot wounds in an Ohio woods, officers said, and authorities are trying to determine what led to their deaths.
Jackson Township police said a Canal Fulton police officer checking on the welfare of a 16-year-old girl and 17-year-old boy found them together about 8:30 p.m. Friday in Jackson Township, about 54 miles south of Cleveland. Police found a handgun.
The girl was pronounced dead at the scene. The boy died at a hospital early Saturday. Both were shot in the head.
The teens were students at Northwest High School in Canal Fulton.
Their deaths come just a few days after police say a 13-year-old boy shot himself at a Jackson Township middle school. He died Wednesday.
