Police investigating massive shootout and chase in Linden area

It happened around 9:45 p.m. in the area of Bancroft Street and East Blake Avenue.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Columbus police are investigating a massive shootout and chase spotted by ShotSpotter in the Linden area Sunday night.

It happened around 9:45 p.m. in the area of Bancroft Street and East Blake Avenue.

When officers responded, there were an additional 13 shots fired down the street near Joyce and Cordell Avenues.

Officers told 10TV that ShotSpotter was able to detect a total of 63 gunshots fired.

The shots can be heard on this public Ring video.

Police discovered several vehicles were chasing each other and the gunshots were coming from the vehicles.

Columbus Police Deputy Chief Richard Bash said, "It's obviously very concerning. Even one shot can do damage and kill someone. The likelihood that someone could get hit with multiple rounds with all of this lead flying down range, the likelihood that someone is not an intended target gets hit."

Authorities learned there was a home that was struck on E. Blake and Joyce Avenues.

Nobody was struck and they don’t have anyone in custody, according to police.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Columbus Police Felony Assault Unit.
