Multiple Shootings and Police Involvement in Columbus' Short North

Columbus police are investigating three overnight shootings, including one in the Short North that injured multiple people and involved multiple officers. One person is in critical condition, and one person died in a separate shooting. The area on North High Street remains closed as detectives and Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation agents investigate. Early-morning crime in the Short North along High Street became an issue last year due to a string of incidents, prompting the Columbus City Council to object to renewing certain establishments' liquor licenses and limiting street food-vending hours.
