COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Police in Ohio’s capital city used pepper spray on a small group of people who briefly breached outer doors Tuesday night at the agency’s downtown headquarters.
The clash followed a largely peaceful protest downtown earlier in the evening where dozens marched after the fatal police shooting a day earlier of a Black man in a hospital emergency room.
Columbus police said Miles Jackson, 27, was the man killed at Mount Carmel St. Ann’s Hospital in suburban Columbus on Monday.
