Two double-homicides within 12 hours prompted Columbus police to once again call for help from the community to help solve cases. I ve never seen anything like this, said Deputy Chief Michael Woods, who has worked for the division for 32 years. Almost daily a serious shooting.
The city has seen a record 173 homicides in 2020. The previous record was 143 in 2017. It s been a very difficult year, Woods said during a Tuesday press conference outside police headquarters Downtown.
Two people died and another is in critical condition after reports of a stabbing around 5 a.m. Tuesday at the Summit Park Apartments in the 4400 block of Walford Street in the Northland area.
