A Summit County SWAT officer will never take his equipment for granted.

Gunfire struck his helmet during a series of drug-house raids Tuesday morning in Akron and Canton, but he escaped injury.

The incident occurred about 6 a.m. inside an Allyn Street house in Akron. Summit County SWAT members were there serving an arrest warrant and were targeted by the suspect’s father, who fired a .357-caliber pistol, authorities said.

So far, authorities have seized $100,000, 10 vehicles, 10 firearms, 10 pounds of marijuana and various records.

The investigation involved Akron police, the Summit County Sheriff’s Office, U.S. Marshals, the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, along with federal and
