Columbus Police Board Clears Two Cops Who Shot "Buckeye Bandit"

Franklin County Sheriff's Office

The Columbus Police firearms review board has cleared two officers of wrongdoing for shooting and wounding the so-called "Buckeye Bandit." The board says last year's shooting of Ikechi Emeaghara by Lieutenant Eric David and Sergeant James Sheehan was within procedure.  The board says the two opened fire when Emeaghara pointed a gun at them while fleeing a bank robbery.

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.
