The mayor says nothing is off the table when it comes to improving safety at in the Short North following the weekend's mass shooting that left 10 injured.COLUMBUS, Ohio — Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther was pressed for answers Wednesday about what more his administration can do to prevent another mass shooting in the Short North. He tells 10TV that nothing is off the table when it comes to improving security in the Short North.
During an interview, Ginther was asked by 10TV's Kevin Landers what is being done to help curb the latest violence in the Short North.:"You were very quick to respond the last time we had a mass shooting. You introduced a curfew, you had Uber drivers park in different spots. You’re not as quick this time. Why? Can you explain what’s being done right now?":"I don’t know if that’s true Kevin.
Tuesday night, the mayor said members of the police department met with the Short North Alliance to discuss additional security measures. So far, those plans have not been made public in part because the mayor says he wants to hear what businesses and property owners want. “To make sure that folks that are committing crimes with guns are held accountable and are taken off the street,” he said.
