Authorities say a family argument in Ohio ended in the shooting deaths of eight people, including an 11-year-old, in two locations.    Another person was wounded.

Copley Township police Chief Michael Mier tells WKYC-TV one person shot five people to death in the first location on Sunday. Two more were gunned down nearby before police killed the shooter.

He did not say how the shooter and victims were related or what sparked the argument.

Copley Township is a town of about 14,000 people outside Akron, about 40 miles south of Cleveland in northeast Ohio.
