Officers responded to the 3300 block of Mogadore Road at approximately 1:53 p.m. after calls came into the Mogadore Police Department about an argument and a subsequent gunshot. The suspect was identified as Brandon Craig once officers arrived to the scene.

Craig had fled into a nearby wooded area immediately following the incident.

A perimeter was established around the area due to the proximity to an elementary school, and the suspect was taken into custody without any further incident after drones were used to locate him in the woods. 

Officials say the victim is expected to be OK despite being wounded.
