Officer-Involved Shooting in Columbus | Columbus News

In a tense standoff in south Columbus, police responded to a report of a man wielding a propane torch and gun assaulting a woman at a homeless encampment. Officers ordered everyone to raise their hands as a suspect emerged from behind a tree — leading to a deadly exchange of gunfire. The suspect, 41-year-old Michael Magyar, fled the scene but was later found and taken into custody after a high-stakes chase involving helicopters and drones. He suffered a gunshot wound to the arm, while the woman was injured in the initial attack. No officers were hurt. The Ohio BCI is now investigating the shooting, and Magyar faces felony assault charges — while the officers involved, both with nine years of service, remain unnamed.
