The Wedgewood Village Apartments have been under a microscope by Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein, who said in April that he was planning to aggressively improve the complex, which has been plagued by crime. Despite added lighting, police access to cameras and additional security, the crimes continued.

In February, Columbus expanded its contract with software provider ShotSpotter into the 0.64 square miles that cover Wedgewood Village Apartments — which the city attorney has called a place of “serious concern.” The technology detects gunfire, its location, and its direction through triangulation, and was activated in the community earlier in May.

Police do not yet have any information on any potential suspects or on what may have led to Tuesday’s shooting. NBC4 will have updates as they become available.
