At Rest

Deadly force
Westerville medics requested that Columbus police assist them with the transport of a mental health patient. According to police, officers followed the medic to the hospital. When the patient got out of the back of the other, he was carrying a garbage bag. Inside the bag was a handgun. When the man saw a police officer, he took out the gun and ignored orders to drop the gun. He was shot and killed, while carrying a BB gun.
