Columbus Police shooting more people this year

Newly released Columbus police data shows there have been 12 officer-involved shootings so far this year, as compared with 20 in all of last year. Suspects were killed in four of the shootings, including two this past weekend. Police and city officials say the number of officer-involved shootings will drop when stronger gun laws are in place.
