Police in Ravenna shot and killed a man who was using a person as “a human shield” during a confrontation with officers early Sunday, authorities say.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Invesigation was called to investigate the shooting, and agents are currently interviewing witnesses.

An Israeli military officer disclosed Thursday that the army uses Palestinians as human shields at least six times daily in the Gaza Strip, an illegal tactic under international law. The officer, who wrote anonymously in the Haaretz newspaper, criticized military police for opening just six investigations into the practice.
