News Video from Toledo: Fire Inspector Accused of Shooting

A civilian fire inspector whose father was the fire chief in Toledo until a few months ago, has been arrested and charged with firing into a occupied fire station Saturday night. Kevin Wolever was arrested in the vicinity of the shooting carrying a 9 mm handgun and 2 clips of ammunition. He was under suspicion of being involved in a series of prior fire station shootings the past week.

Of even more concern, he was wearing a ballistic vest and had a handcuff key in his mouth when apprehended.
