Father sought in Amber Alert killed by officer, daughter unharmed after police chase in Ohio

MEDINA TOWNSHIP, Ohio (AP) — A man who abducted his 7-year-old daughter from a relative’s home in Ohio was killed by officers following a police chase. The girl was not physically injured. Authorities say 43-year-old Charles Alexander did not have custody of the child he took from a home in Empire around 3 p.m. on Monday. An Amber Alert was issued and police spotted him five hours later in Brunswick. A chase ensued on Interstate 71. Authorities eventually deflated his tires and he pulled into a parking lot in Medina Township. He was in contact with 911 dispatchers before officers opened fire. A Medina County Sheriff’s statement doesn’t specify what prompted officers to shoot him.
