Suspects Killed By Police Identified

Columbus police have identified the two suspects killed in an early Wednesday morning shootout with officers near the Columbus Fire Station on North High Street in Clintonville. Police Sergeant Rich Weiner says officers were pursuing 24-year-old Emanuel Gatewood and 21-year-old Kourtney Hahn, suspects in the shooting death of 29-year-old Lance Glenn outside an after-hours bar on East Hudson Street last month.

Weiner says two officers hit by flying glass were treated at a hospital and released. High Street was closed until late Wednesday afternoon as officers collected shell casings and other evidence.
