Police said a suspect they were seeking turned himself in to authorities late Sunday night, according to the Columbus Dispatch.
The 10 victims range in age from 16-27 years old, the Columbus Police Division’s Facebook page stated. WBNS said some people were taken to different hospitals by medics, one was taken by a police cruiser and four other victims were driven to hospitals on their own.
One of the victims was in critical condition, while the other nine were in stable condition, Columbus police said. WBNS said the victims are all male and two of them are juveniles.
Police said the suspect involved in the shooting was “described as a male wearing all black clothing,” and the vehicle involved is believed to be a “white, four-door Honda Civic with tinted windows.”
Officers pursued the vehicle on North Fourth Street and Interstate 670 and attempted to stop it several times, according to WBNS. Police lost the suspect vehicle on Grandview Avenue. The driver of that vehicle is the suspect who later turned himself in.
