COLUMBUS, Ohio — One of the men accused of fatally shooting a City of Columbus employee last year pleaded guilty to three charges on Friday, according to Franklin County Court of Common Pleas records.

Ivan Netter pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, felonious assault and aggravated burglary, all of which are felonies.
