COLUMBUS, Ohio — Three people, including a 12-year-old, were hurt in a shooting in Columbus early Wednesday morning.
The three were attending a vigil at an apartment building in the 800 block of Greenfield Drive when the shooting took place shortly before 12:15 a.m., according to Columbus police.
A 17-year-old boy and a 21-year-old man were shot in the abdomen and taken by a friend to Grant Hospital, police said. The 12-year-old was shot in the left knee and taken to Nationwide Children's Hospital.
Through an initial investigation, officers learned the vigil was being held for a friend who had been killed at the apartments the previous evening. Police said Wednesday's shooting was not a retaliation for yesterday’s deadly shooting.
Witnesses told police a gray car pulled up in front of the attendees and a suspect fired shots, striking the three victims.
Police were able to find a suspect after stopping a vehicle on Greenlawn Avenue where they also found weapons in the car.
Investigators found a total of 84 spent shell casings at the scene.
Police initially reported that four people had been shot, but later clarified the fourth victim's wound was from a previous incident.
