Toledo Police are investigating the city's latest homicide. They say a man was shot outside his gym on Warehouse Drive off Angola this morning. Police say the owner of Intensity Fitness was arriving for the day when he was shot and killed. They say some patrons of the gym found the man and called 9-1-1. A worker at a nearby business said he heard gunshots.  Police are hoping a nearby surveillance camera will give them some information. No word on any suspects at this time.

Police say two people went to the hospital, one in critical condition, after a shooting on Weber Street between Cottage and Franklin. It happened around 10:30 last night. Police say the man and woman were sitting in a car when someone started shooting.

*New Route 18 Opens

Ohio Gov. John Kasich will help dedicate the new State Route 18 in North Baltimore today. The changes include the first roundabout on a State Route in Northwest Ohio. The project was finished four years ahead of schedule. The changes were made to ease truck traffic through the village that was heading to and from the CSX Intermodal hub.

*Imagination Station Waits on Provisional Ballots

Provisional ballots could swing a close levy vote in the imagination station's favor, but there are other plans if it doesn't happen. The state started counting provisional ballots over the weekend. The Imagination Station's levy lost by about a thousand votes election night. But there are more than nine-thousand provisional ballots that need to be counted in Lucas County. In the meantime, Imagination Station leaders are making plans for another levy even if the provisional ballots don't change the outcome.
