Officers and a deputy from the Ashland County Sheriff's Office entered the building and heard gunshots coming from inside an apartment. Officers tried to breach the door to enter, but it was barricaded.About 3:50 a.m., the 40-year-old resident removed the barricade and left the apartment unarmed and was taken into custody. When officers entered the apartment, they found Charity Hlovac, 33, dead with a visible gunshot wound.
