News 5 Cleveland
A News 5 crew was on scene around Cheyenne Drive as they saw drones and a helicopter in the air. They also watched as law enforcement ran through front lawns and backyards, and asked residents how many people were in their house. Their focus appeared to be on a two-story home.
Vehicles from the sheriff’s department and Rittman, Wooster and Smithville police departments, some of which had bullet holes, were towed from the scene.

White Sox vs. Guardians game delayed due to rain Sunday 7/05/26
UPDATE: The game is now expected to start at 3:30p.m. ET.
Sunday’s Chicago White Sox-Cleveland Guardians game at Progressive Field has entered an inclement-weather delay.
The AL Central matchup was scheduled for Sunday afternoon in Cleveland, but weather moved into the area before the game could settle into its normal rhythm. Rain and thunderstorm risk had been in the forecast throughout the day, with conditions creating another delay in a series already shaped by weather.
This is the second weather interruption of the weekend between the White Sox and Guardians. Friday’s game was delayed for 1 hour, 55 minutes after Miguel Vargas hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the fifth inning. Cleveland later came back to win 4-3 in 10 innings, using the delay to reset a game Chicago had briefly seized.
The Guardians entered the weekend fighting to protect position near the top of the AL Central, while the White Sox have been trying to steady themselves after a rough stretch and a taxed bullpen.
