Columbus Fire Battalion Chief Jeffrey Geitter said on the day of the fire there were 39 units in the building, and that the fire appeared to have started on the first floor. Some people were climbing out of windows when firefighters arrived. Crews used ladders to help people escape the blaze. Columbus police also assisted. Some residents told WSYX that the complex is home to many elderly tenants."The people across the hall were yelling, 'run put your head down and run.' by the time I started to run you couldn't see anything," he recalled. "I wasn't going to make it to the steps. I was able to find my apartment; it was still unlocked. I knew that. I pushed it open and shut it because I knew the smoke wouldn't be in there. I made it to my window. And I stood halfway in the window, halfway out, waiting on somebody with a ladder or the fire department."Police investigating shooting; victim in critical condition Columbus police are responding to a shooting that left a victim in critical condition Monday afternoon.Few details were immediately available, but ABC 6 confirm'Railroad torpedoes' discovered while cleaning garage in Clark County
