The Columbus Division of Police released body camera video showing two officers firing their guns at a knife-wielding man accused of stabbing three people near Blacklick on Tuesday.
Officers were dispatched to Hoskins Way in the Waterford Park neighborhood for reports of multiple people being stabbed at a house.
Arriving officers found the suspect, later identified as 66-year-old Benjamin Kelch, on the front porch of the house holding a knife near a victim who was sitting in a chair.
The officers could be heard telling Kelch to drop the knife multiple times. In one of the videos, Kelce could be heard telling officers to shoot him.
Two of the officers fired their weapon and one officer deployed his Taser, but Kelch did not go down. The officer with the Taser deployed it again and struck Kelch, who fell to the ground. Officers got the knife away and handcuffed him.
Officers can be heard saying Kelch has a gunshot wound, but Sgt. James Fuqua said Tuesday that officials were still investigating if he was hit. Bodycam video shows he had blood on the front of his shirt before officers approach the house.
Once he was detained being detained by the officers, bodycam video showed he had a deep cut on his arm as well as a wound on his stomach.
Three stabbing victims and Kelch were hospitalized. The three victims are expected to survive. Police said Kelch's condition was described as stable Tuesday night. Court records say Kelch is charged with felonious assault.
No officers were injured.
