COLUMBUS, Ohio ( WCMH ) — Three people were injured or killed from gunshot wounds Saturday morning in seemingly unconnected incidents.
Police said they responded to reports of gunshots fired near Interstate 270 and W. Broad Street early Saturday morning. Police said they contacted the caller, who was traveling on I-270 North when they said they witnessed a black car whose driver brandished a firearm.
Police said the caller, who was traveling in a blue 2022 Chrysler, witnessed gunshots fired and then drove to meet police at a gas station. At approximately 6:12 a.m., police were dispatched to a local hospital to speak with a gunshot victim who transported herself to get medical care. The victim confirmed with police she had been in the same area the caller had described, had heard gunshots and then realized she had been struck.
Police said they have all parties involved, and the incident is still under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Felony Assault Unit Detective Adam Federer at (614)-645-4011.
