Last night, July 16, a stretch of Parlin Drive in Grove City turned into an active crime scene when gunfire sent one person to the hospital and landed another in police custody. Emergency crews blocked off the neighborhood while investigators combed the area and spoke with witnesses. Authorities have not released the names or detailed conditions of those involved as detectives continue their work.
According to 10TV, officers were called to the Parlin Drive area yesterday evening and found at least one person with gunshot wounds, who was taken to a nearby hospital. The station reports that one person was taken into custody at the scene and that Grove City police say the shooting remains under investigation.
Police response and how to report tips
The Grove City Division of Police is the primary responding agency for the area, and the department's online pages list contact information for tips and non-emergency questions. The city's site lists 614-277-1710 as the non-emergency number for reporting information about local incidents.
Local policing context
The shooting comes as the department remains under scrutiny after a Franklin County grand jury on June 4 declined to indict officers involved in an October barricade shooting, as reported in the barricade shooting case. That earlier case, which included released body-camera footage and a lengthy standoff, has kept community attention on how Grove City police handle critical incidents.
We will update this post as Grove City police release more information. Anyone with tips about yesterday's shooting is asked to contact the Grove City Division of Police at 614-277-1710 or call 911 in an emergency.
