Police say at least 22 shots fired by gunman

By J. STEVEN DILLON

STAFF WRITER

Authorities say Donti J. Henry fired at least 22 shots at officers in about 30 seconds, before he was stopped by a shotgun blast during last Saturday's shootout in Bluffton.

Hancock County Sheriff Mike Heldman said Thursday that detectives are continuing to process evidence from the high-speed chase and gunbattle. On Thursday, the sheriff's office released a photograph of the weaponry and ammunition found in Henry's possession.

The bulletproof vest that Henry, 29, of Michigan, was wearing at the time is also shown in the photo.

Evidence recovered at the shooting scene -- the Sterling store on Ohio 103 in Bluffton -- indicates that Henry got off 22 shots before he was killed at about 11:05 a.m. Saturday.

The shootout followed a 40-mile chase from Bowling Green, where Henry had tried to obtain an Ohio identification card at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) office. He fled that office after struggling with a police officer and firing a shot from a handgun.

Sheriff Heldman said investigators are still counting shell casings, and the total number of shots fired by both law enforcement officers and Henry during the shootout has not been released.

He said 20 shots were fired by Henry from a .223-caliber semi-automatic, high-powered assault pistol, while at least two shots were fired from a Belgium-made "Five-seveN" pistol, a handgun which apparently is similar to a 9 mm gun.

Authorities believe it was the "Five-seveN" that Henry fired once during the incident at the BMV office.

Sheriff Heldman said a third handgun, a 9 mm, was found in Henry's 2006 Chrysler van, along with ammunition for all three weapons.

Among the items that Henry left behind in the vehicle was a loaded 100-round magazine for the .223-caliber assault pistol.

"Fortunately, he didn't have time" to attach that to the gun, Heldman said.

The photo of Henry's arsenal shows a damaged 20-shot clip for the .223 pistol. Heldman said the damage occurred during the shootout.

He said investigators have determined the clip was in the weapon when Henry was hit with a blast from a shotgun fired by Wood County Sheriff's Deputy Greg Panning.

The rifle slug broke the window of a Ford Explorer that Henry was attempting to carjack, and penetrated the .223 clip before striking the suspect, who was seated in the SUV.

Hancock County Coroner Dr. Leroy Schroeder said earlier this week the fatal shot hit Henry's carotid artery.

Two state troopers were struck by bullets fired from Henry's weapons.

Trooper Albert Leitenberger, of the Findlay patrol post, suffered a gunshot wound to the right arm, while Trooper Chuck Grizzard, of the Walbridge post, was shot in the hand. Both officers have been released from the hospital.

Trooper Brian Snyder-Gonzalez, of the Findlay post, also suffered minor injuries when he fell during the shootout.

A Canadian woman, who was in the Ford Explorer that Henry tried to carjack, required treatment after she was apparently grazed by a bullet.

No other injuries were reported.

Meanwhile, Barbara Jean Clark, the woman who had been with Henry during the Bowling Green portion of the incident, has been released from the Wood County jail after posting $75,000 bond.

She has been charged with conspiracy to commit robbery, for allegedly assisting Henry in his attempt to obtain the Ohio ID card.

Authorities have learned since the incident that Clark had purchased the "Five-seveN" handgun last Friday.

Clark, 27, of Southfield, Mich., has told police she was just an acquaintance of Henry's and didn't know his plans last Saturday.

She could be indicted when the Wood County grand jury meets next Wednesday.

Clark, who is reportedly six months pregnant, is a bank employee, according to records in Bowling Green Municipal Court, where she was initially charged.

Clark and Henry both fled the BMV office in a van that had been leased. Henry let her out of the vehicle on I-75 near Bowling Green, and she was taken into custody a short time later.

Henry then proceeded south at a high rate of speed. He avoided tire-deflating "Stop Sticks" twice near Findlay, but ran over tire spikes north of Bluffton. He exited at Ohio 103, and ended up at the Sterling store, where he attempted to carjack an SUV that was parked at a gas pump.

A video released earlier this week shows Henry exiting the minivan and first firing the "Five-seveN" and then the .223-caliber gun at troopers, before running to the SUV.

The 34-second gunbattle ends when Deputy Panning, who was positioned by a utility pole alongside Ohio 103, fired four rounds from his shotgun.

Thanks for adding that link and new relaese, I missed that. ( At work)

WHAT WAS THIS GUY THINKING????

I'm sorry this was a true bad guy. This guy had some thing else in mind. I'm glad it was only him that took on the L.E. With another person involved it could have been deadly for more than just them.

No, the vest is PINK....Blood is DARK RED , you can see the blood up near the top edge of the back of the vest, apparantly from the neck wound the suspect recieved.

As far as the media.....they're obviously uninformed, as usual....the damaged magazine was a 30 rounder.....assault pistol?? WTF?.....so now if it fires a .223, it's an "assault pistol" ?
