Columbus police said a vehicle stolen at gunpoint late Monday night is believed to be the SUV that crashed into Buckeye Gun Dealer on North 21st Street around 2 a.m. Tuesday.

The store owner said the business will be closed "for a little while" as the damage is repaired.

The ATF is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspects.
