Boardman neighbor shot during alleged apartment invasion moves f - WFMJ.com News weather sports for Youngstown-Warren Ohio

A Boardman man is out of the hospital and behind bars after police say he was shot while kicking down the door of his neighbor’s apartment.

Fifty-eight-year-old Lawrence Simon was booked into county jail Thursday after spending a couple of days in the hospital recovering from a gunshot wound to the leg.

A man who lives on the 100 block of Shields Road tells police he shot Simon early Tuesday after Simon broke into his apartment.

Neighbors told officers they heard a “commotion” including doors slamming before hearing two gunshots.

Police found the gun used in the shooting in a laundry basket.

Simon is scheduled to answer a burglary charge in Boardman Court next week.
