NORTH BLOOMFIELD — A 71-year-old North Bloomfield man will be arraigned Monday in Newton Falls Municipal Court on a felonious assault charge in connection with the Thursday afternoon shooting at a Hyde Oakfield Road NW home that seriously wounded a 64-year-old man.

Milton Kurtzman, 1394 Hyde Oakfield Road, is scheduled to appear via video hookup before Judge Philip Vigorito at 9 a.m. Monday to answer to the second-degree felony charge.

Trumbull County jail records show Kurtzman was taken into custody after deputies and other law officers were called to the Hyde Oakfield Road home to investigate the shooting of Allen Byler, 64, 6331 Morrell Ray Road, Bristol.

Trumbull County 911 reports state Byler was shot three times in the abdomen and the back and then ran across the street, where he banged on the front door of a neighbor’s home. Byler was taken by ambulance to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital after weather conditions prevented a helicopter from taking him there. There was a mixture of snow and rain with high winds at the time of the shooting.

Byler underwent surgery Thursday evening and by Friday morning hospital officials said Byler was admitted but did not give a condition report.

Trumbull County Sheriff Paul Monroe said the victim is believed to have been involved in an argument with the alleged shooter. According to the 911 call sheet, the shooter and the victim are roommates and Byler was supposed to be moving out. The argument started and it turned physical with one man putting the other into a headlock.

After the shooting, Kurtzman had locked himself in his home, threatening to shoot anyone who came inside, the 911 report states. Officers surrounded the home and Kurtzman eventually was led out after relatives talked to him. Kurtzman was taken into custody about 5:11 p.m., the report states.

Sheriff deputies recovered two guns — a 9mm Keltec and a .357-caliber Sig Sauer — from the home where the shooting took place, the 911 report states.

Also investigating the shooting are members of the Trumbull County Homicide Task Force, the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Warren and Champion police and Bristol Fire Department paramedics, who transported Byler to the hospital.
