Brandon Burtyk Charged After High-Speed Gun Chase | Columbus News

A 32-year-old man named Brandon Burtyk is facing 16 serious charges after a chaotic car crash on I-70 turned into a deadly standoff with Columbus police. Witnesses say he pulled out two guns and opened fire before fleeing. When officers finally cornered him on Errington Road, body cam footage shows him holding the weapons to his own head — then turning them on cops in a shootout that left one officer wounded but stable. Burtyk was hospitalized from the crash and now faces felony assault and illegal weapon charges, including a $3 million bond and an arraignment set for Friday.
