GIBSONBURG, Ohio — Two adults are being treated for serious injuries and a juvenile is in police custody after an early‑morning call to a home on East Yeasting Street, the Gibsonburg Police Department said Monday.
Officers were sent to the residence at about 4:43 a.m. on Monday, July 13, according to a press release from Police Chief Donald A. Karr. When they arrived, they found three injured people — two adults and one juvenile. A fourth person, also a juvenile, was not hurt.
Both adults had serious injuries and are receiving treatment, Karr said. A juvenile is in custody and is being treated for minor injuries.
The department did not say how any of the four people were hurt, what led to the call, how the four are related to one another, or why the juvenile was taken into custody. No charges have been announced.
Karr said the department is not releasing any names.
“We will not be releasing names at this time out of respect for the family,” the release said. “Further details will be released as required.”
The chief said required steps were taken at the scene and that the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation was called in to process it. BCI, a division of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, is routinely requested by small departments to handle crime‑scene forensics and major‑case work.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with them and their family,” Karr said of the injured adults.
Gibsonburg police were assisted by the Woodville Police Department, the Sandusky County Sheriff’s Office, Sandusky County EMS, Gibsonburg Fire and the Sandusky County Prosecutor’s Office, according to the release.
Gibsonburg is a village of roughly 2,500 people in Sandusky County, about 25 miles northwest of Tiffin.
