COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Columbus police say SWAT officers fatally shot a man after he made a “threatening gesture” with a handgun during a stand-off.
Police say the shooting happened early Sunday morning in a neighborhood on the west side near the state capital’s downtown.
Police say they responded to reports late Saturday night of a man firing shots into the ground. Police say the man ran into a house and SWAT officers and a hostage team tried to negotiate with the man.
Police withheld the name of the victim while family was notified.
