Columbus Division of Police and city officials provided additional information and provided body camera footage at a press conference Tuesday afternoon from a fatal police shooting more than 12 hours earlier, as well as from two other recent officer-involved shootings.
Body camera footage shows a Columbus K-9 officer shooting a suspect shortly after opening the door to a bedroom in a Hilltop apartment while they tried to execute a search warrant.
The shooting early Tuesday was the third police shooting in the past eight days and the first to end in a fatality. One other suspect was wounded and no one was hit in the third shooting. Columbus Mayor Andrew J. Ginther, Department of Public Safety Director Robert Clark, Columbus Police Chief Elaine Bryant and City Council President Shannon Hardin attended the press conference.
