Associated PressTOLEDO: Toledo police say a man was shot and killed while bicycling to work for the first time to save on gas.
Police Capt. Ray Carroll says 46-year-old David Babcock was seen on a street having a heated argument with another man before he was shot around 5:30 Tuesday morning. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The coroner says Babcock took a bullet to the face that caused massive bleeding and hampered his breathing.
No arrests have been made. Authorities don't know the motive for the shooting.
Babcock survived surgery to remove a brain tumor 13 years ago. His fiance, Rene Long, says Babcock had put lights on his bike and wore a reflective vest so he would be safe on his inaugural, 8-mile ride to his job at Fresh Products Inc., a maker of air fresheners.
