Police said at least one officer fired a gun during the incident and there were multiple shots fired but investigators did not know if an officer shot anyone.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Two people were injured in relation to an incident in the South Linden area Tuesday afternoon.

Columbus Division of Police Sgt. James Fuqua said officers were called just after 1:30 p.m. to the 2200 block of Homestead Drive on a report of a shooting.

Fuqua said officers also received calls that a man shot a woman inside a house.

When officers arrived, they made contact with people inside and were confronted by someone at the door.

Fuqua said a man, who police said is a suspect, then ran from the home and officers chased him.

Officers were soon able to take him into custody and police found a gun outside the house.

Fuqua said the woman who was shot was taken to a local hospital in critical condition.  He said her condition has since been upgraded to stable.

The man was taken to the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in serious but stable condition.

Fuqua said at least one officer fired a gun and there were multiple shots fired but he did not know if an officer shot anyone.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is investigating, according to Fuqua.

Police said officers were not hurt.
