COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX/WTTE) — The morning after Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther held a press conference to address increasing gun violence in the city, Columbus Police responded to two shootings.

At least one person was taken to the hospital in critical condition after a shooting near a bar on Mediterranean Avenue around 1:30 a.m.

Police did not have any suspect information available this morning.

Another person was hospitalized Sunday morning after a shooting near the Scioto Mile in the 100 block of West Main Street.

Columbus Police said officers found a male victim in his 20s lying on the grass near the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds around 5 a.m.

First responders rushed the victim to the hospital in critical condition with gunshot wounds to his hand, bicep, and chest. Police said he has since been upgraded to stable condition.

Police did not release any suspect information but were interviewing witnesses.

Mayor Ginther said Saturday that felonious assaults involving a firearm in June are up 244%.

No it is blacks thinking they can do anything they want now and then claim racism. What we see here are 2 things.
1. Socialism from the likes of Antifa and rich , or middle calls white guilt turds. These are the ones using blacks for their own power and agenda.
2. Blacks now showing their racism, their black supremacy is on display. They now think they can get away with anything , but honestly believe they are not being racist, but they are getting their revenge from hundreds of years ago.
When I say blacks I mean most not all as there are good conservative black people out there who are not being given a voice right now .

I joined USCCA yesterday for the liability and legal insurance. The probability that I will be involved in a self defense shooting has sky rocketed. $347 a year for a $1,000,000 liability and $150,000 in legal expenses seems cheap now.
