Three Columbus police officers hospitalized after cruisers crash into each other
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Three Columbus Police officers were hospitalized Saturday morning after two police cruisers struck one another. According to the crash report, two Columbus Division of Police (CPD) cruisers hit one another at the intersection of S. Hague Avenue and Sullivant Avenue just before 2:30 a.m. Saturday. The report said both cruisers suffered significant damage and three officers between the two vehicles were transported to nearby hospitals. One officer was suspected of having serious injury, and the other two were suspected of minor injuries, although all three were in stable condition. The report said neither driver was distracted. Police reviewed video footage from a nearby gas station and determined cruiser 195, which had one officer inside, failed to yield at the light. It then collided with cruiser 81, which was carrying two officers. According to the crash report, both vehicles spun out after colliding, with cruiser 195 hitting a cinderblock wall and cruiser 81 going through a cinderblock wall and a roadway sign. The roadways were temporarily closed and both vehicles were towed from the scene, with the intersection reopening by 3:15 a.m. All three officers were wearing their seatbelts.

Video shows moments man opens fire at Lauderhill apartment complex, sending 2 teens to hospital
A new video shows the moments a man opened fire at a Lauderhill apartment complex, sending two teenage boys to the hospital earlier this week. Kurt Cranston Broward Sheriff's Office On Saturday, the Lauderhill Police Department announced that they had arrested and charged 33-year-old Kurt Cranston for Wednesday afternoon's shooting, where 16-year-old Shiraj Reid and his 17-year-old friend were injured. Both Reid and his friend were treated at Broward Health Medical Center and are expected to survive. Cranston is currently in custody at the Broward County Main Jail, where he faces two attempted murder charges — one for each teen. A dangerous start to summer break Around 4:05 p.m. Wednesday, Lauderhill Police responded to the Casavita II apartments on 2041 NW 43rd Terr., regarding a ShotSpotter notification of 12 gunshots in the area. When officers arrived, they found the first victim located in the roadway of Northwest 43rd Terrace and the second found in the back parking lot, both later identified as Reid and his friend. Investigators obtained surveillance video that showed Cranston walking on the north side of the apartment complex's leasing office with a firearm tucked under his armpit before turning the corner, pointing his weapon toward a "group of males" sitting in the courtyard south of the leasing office, and opening fire. According to Lauderhill Police, Cranston said his motive stemmed from a prior incident involving the victims on June 1, where he claimed to have "feared for his life." Police did not provide further details on the incident but are currently investigating his claims. Cranston was arrested and booked into the BSO Main Jail on Friday.
