A shop in downtown Rittman has organized a community cookout and bake sale to remember the victims of last weekend’s deadly shooting that claimed the lives of four people. The event will be held this Sunday from 2-5pm in the parking lot of C&J Best Sips & Bakes and Evolution Athletics and Coaching, on North Main Street. This weekend’s event is being held in memory of Sgt. Scott Ries, Christine McWilliams and her 13-year old daughter McKinley, who were all killed in the incident. The suspect in their deaths, and Christine’s former partner, 38-year old Brandon Fazekas, also died from a reportedly self-inflicted gunshot wound, while four officers from the Medina County Sheriff’s Office were shot, as was a K9 from the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office. Organizers of Sunday’s event say all proceeds will be donated to the victim’s families.
