So far we have limited information for this case as the Columbus Dispatch reported the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation has been called to investigate a fatal shooting by a Columbus police officer on the East Side that occurred just about the time the Derek Chauvin verdict was being announced.
Police received a 911 call at 4:35 p.m. about an attempted stabbing on the 3100 block of Legion Lane. The caller reported a female was trying to stab them, then the caller hung up.
Officers responded to the scene and at 4:45 p.m. an officer-involved shooting was reported.
Columbus Fire medics were cleared to come into the scene at 4:46 p.m., police said. The wounded person was transported in critical condition to Mount Carmel East hospital, where they were pronounced dead at 5:21 p.m., police said.
No one else was injured and no further information was immediately available.
Update:
The Family named the girl Makiyah Bryant.
