Shots Fired

From Joanne Kitchen, President of the McNaughten Village Condo Association:

To McNaughten Village residents:

The information I am sharing came from the unit owners referenced.  Please share this information with your neighbors.

The occurrences happened at approximately 12:00-12:30 AM on Thursday, September 16th, 2021.

A series of rapid gunfire was heard by me, Joanne, at approximately 12:00-12:30 a.m.  The next morning the unit owners at 1854 and 1874 reported the following.

1854: 1 bullet went through the upstairs bedroom wall, entering the gutter in the under hang, going through the wall making a hole in the drywall.

1872: 1 bullet went through the upstairs bedroom wall and one through the garage.

The police said that both were 9 mm bullets.  The police took the evidence.

Both residents filed police reports.

No one was hurt.

The police said that unit owners should report any gunshot heard to their non emergency number:  (614) 645-4545.

We all hear a lot of “fireworks” and perhaps don’t recognize the noise as gunshots. I'm one such person.

I don’t have any more information.

Thank you.

Joanne Kitchen

One resident, motivated by a sense of civic duty, conducted a search of McNaughten Road and recovered three spent shell casings, which he subsequently turned over to the Columbus Police.
