Columbus Cop Wounded In Ambush

A Columbus police officer is hospitalized in stable condition after being shot last night during an ambush in Linden. 

Police have not released the name of the plain-clothes officer who was shot near East Hudson Street and McGuffey Road while watching three suspects as part of an investigation. Police say the suspects saw the officer, then pulled  their car behind his. One of the suspects then exited and opened fire. They have been arrested.

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.
