Short North shooting draws large police response
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Multiple people were believed to have been shot early Saturday in the Short North.
Columbus police shut down multiple blocks and a heavy presence was seen in several areas, including High Street from Second Avenue to Goodale Street through the heart of the Short North, a commercial and residential neighborhood immediately north of Columbus' Downtown.
No officers were injured, but the situation was enough that a citywide office in trouble was put out, according to Brian Steel of the local lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police. The number of victims was not immediately available.
Police were also visible at the intersection of West First Avenue and Park Street, near the border of the Short North and Victorian Village.
