An 81-year-old Mentor, Ohio resident, Thomas Galizia, was shot and killed on November 16, 2023, during a mass shooting at the Mentor Greens Mobile Estates. The attack began around 4:30 PM when 47-year-old Jason Norris opened fire; property manager Laura Colon was also shot and killed in the roadway. Galizia was found dead inside his home after being shot while attempting to assist Colon and other victims.

Police discovered another victim, 63-year-old Terrance Mathis Sr., nearby with severe injuries; he later died at the hospital. A fourth person, 63-year-old Charles Skala, survived with injuries and was hospitalized in stable condition. Officers say Norris retreated into his unit and fired at responding officers; a tactical drone later showed he had a fatal gunshot wound and multiple firearms and ammunition were recovered inside his residence. Residents were evacuated and sheltered at the Mentor Senior Center.

What information do readers in Mentor have about the victims, the timeline that afternoon, or any possible warning signs before the shooting?
