COLUMBUS, Ind. (WISH) - Police in Columbus are seeking the public’s help after someone fired a shotgun near an apartment building, striking a police patrol car that was parked at an officers home in the area, 24-Hour News 8 news partner The Republic of Columbus reports.
The investigation was prompted by a man who called 911 at about 2:30 a.m. Friday, saying he’d been chased by a group of people, one of whom had fired a shotgun. The man was taken to Columbus Regional Hospital for evaluation after he exhibited irrational behavior, Columbus Police Department said, but officers did determine the report of gunshots at Pence Place Apartments had merit.
