According to police, officers were dispatched to Pepperwood Court off Galloway Road around 3:10 p.m. A woman was found at the scene and pronounced dead at 3:21 p.m.
A woman who lives near the scene said she heard what sounded like gunshots just after 2 p.m., but didn't think anything of it until her son got off the bus from school.
"My son ran in and was like, 'Mom, there's a dead body' and I'm like 'No one is out there you guys are telling tales.' And I walk out here and then, yeah. And as I'm walking out there's 30 more cops pulling up," Wendi Arnold said. Arnold has lived in the area for about five years. What worries her is this incident is too close to home for comfort.
"It's very disheartening to know that 10-year-old kids or any kids for that matter have to see this type of things," Arnold said."I don't feel safe around here in Columbus, in general."
