Grove City, OH - An armed Columbus man who was a burglary suspect shot at Grove City police officers at least twice and wounded one of them before officers returned fire and killed him, according to Grove City police and body camera footage of the incident.

Dominique Byrdsong, 32, of Columbus' Northeast Side, was pronounced dead at a local hospital on Oct. 8 after he was shot by the officers. The wounded officer, who has not been identified by police, suffered a gunshot wound to his lower body and was transported in stable condition to a local hospital. He has since been released.

Grove City police Lt. Jason Stern said that officers responded to a report of a burglary at around 5:15 p.m. at a home in the 3800 block of Louise Court. The homeowner told police that there was a man in the house armed with a gun, according to a 911 call.

Body camera footage from the incident shows a large police presence outside the home, including the Grove City police Rapid Response Team. An officer is heard over a bullhorn telling Byrdsong that he is under arrest and to exit the home.

A standoff ensued for a little over three hours. Just before 8:40 p.m., Byrdsong ran from the home through backyards and over fences for about a block onto the 3000 block of Barbee Avenue. Several officers pursued him when he shot at officers at least twice, wounding one of them, according to police.

Multiple officers shot back at Byrdsong, according to body camera footage from the incident. Byrdsong was struck and critically wounded. He was transported to a local hospital, where he later died.

Grove City police recovered a handgun from the scene that they say was used by Byrdsong.

Police also said that a truck that was used by Byrdsong and parked behind the Louise Court residence was stolen the day before out of Pickaway County.
