COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A 19-year-old allegedly shot a woman and later got into a shootout with Columbus police officers Saturday afternoon on the South Side.
According to Columbus police, officers were sent about 2:30 p.m. to the 800 block of Gilbert Street, in the Southern Orchards neighborhood, after receiving a 911 call from a woman who said she had been choked. While en route, a second 911 call came in saying that the woman had since been shot. In the background of the first call, a male voice was heard saying, “Come get me. I got something for you all.”
Upon arrival, officers entered the residence not knowing that the shooting victim had already been taken to a hospital. The suspect was found upstairs, and he refused to leave. He later shot at officers, with at least one officer returning fire. See an early report on the shooting in the video player above.
