OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 11/24/2025, Willoughby police and a Lake County Sheriff’s Deputy went to a home in the 2800 block of Lost Nation Road near Grant Elementary School to investigate reported domestic violence involving a 70-year-old woman. Officers said the woman appeared to be in a suicidal mental health crisis, held a firearm and threatened to harm herself and the deputy. Police surrounded the home, closed Lost Nation Road and requested Grant Elementary to lock down, and called in the Western Lake County Emergency Response Team and Lake County Drone Team. Negotiators tried repeatedly to persuade her to surrender the gun and leave a back bedroom where she had barricaded herself. Under police duress and ongoing police presence, the woman died by a self-inflicted gunshot inside the home.
