Browns owe loyal fans a huge debt – Bud Shaw – Cleveland.com

Bud Shaw chops up Romeo pretty well today. My only beef with the PD sports columnists (save Pluto so far) is that they pretty regularly start writing one column and switch gears halfway through, ending with a different column than the original one.

Cleveland police are investigating a drive-by shooting in the Glenville neighborhood that sent a man, a woman and her 1-year-old child to the hospital Monday afternoon.Both adults were treated at Huron Hospital and released, and the child was taken to Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital. No information was available Monday night on the child’s condition.

Witnesses and police said that a gold, four-door Pontiac car drove up about 4:15 p.m. to the white two-story house in the 700 block of East 95th Street and stopped in front.

The driver fired a shotgun blast at the man, who was walking south on East 95th Street in front of the woman’s home. Police said the shot hit the man in the back.

The birdshot in the shotgun blast hit the woman in the stomach as she was walking into the living room where her 23-month-old infant was playing, police said. She and her mother, who was with the child, grabbed the infant and threw themselves on the floor when they heard the shot, said police spokeswoman Nancy Dominik. The infant was grazed in the right arm.
