Suspect In Monday Shootings Arrested Following Standoff

Franklin County Sheriff's Office

Charges are pending against the suspect in a shooting and standoff with Columbus police SWAT officers yesterday.  Police say 29-year-old Jamie Broom Junior barricaded himself inside a Gault Street home with a gun for several hours.  Broom was wanted for felonious assault, accused of shooting two people on Monday night. Portions of nearby I-70 east and I-71 north were closed to prevent motorists from being in the line of fire.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
