Police Arrest Suspected Shooter in Berea Sniper Case
Berea police, along with federal agents, arrested a man that they suspect has been shooting at cars in the area of Prospect Road. Paul Hausmann, 65, of Strongsville, was arrested at his house by police and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on charges felonious assault and carrying a concealed weapon.
Hausmann is expected to be arraigned in court later today.
Officers had been watching Hausmann's home when he pulled up wearing shooting earmuffs and with a loaded 22-caliber revolver. He became a suspect in the months-long investigation after a local homeowner informed police that a car matching Hausmann's pointed a gun at his house.
Police said that during questioning Hausmann has given vague answers, and a motive is not clear.
A $5,000 reward was issued for information about the person involved in a series of four shooting incidents in which cars in the area of Prospect Road were hit. The first shooting was in mid-August 2009, and the most recent was on Dec. 19, 2009.
Fortunately, no one has been injured in the shootings.

Leader Staff?
Bet this took some crack reporting. Check out a real reporter actually reporting the news....not rewriting someone's hard work. Seem similar? Check out Cleveland.com for the real story.
guess this guy is the "real
guess this guy is the "real reporter", except that the PD hasn't had what most would call a "real reporter" for as long as I can remember; that paper does nothing but carry water for corrupt politicians and corporate fat cats, and they STILL can't seem to keep ads in the paper. Maybe THEY should look in the mirror?
At least they were there
At least the PD writer and photographer were in Berea collecting the facts. Not just sitting in the basement moving a few words around and claiming the content as their own.
