The officers fired a total of 96 shots in 41 seconds at Reed after pulling him over in an unmarked police car.

The results revealed not only the winning candidates and status of issues, but also that Athens County had the largest off-year election turnout of this century. Younger voters will vote in off-year elections, but they need to feel there is a purpose to their vote.
