COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- One teen is hospitalized after they and at least two others allegedly fired guns at Columbus police officers near a south side park.
A police dispatcher said that officers were sent to 580 East Woodrow Avenue near Lincoln Pool and the Barack Community Center on the report of at least three teenagers firing gunshots.
According to Columbus Police Sgt. Joe Albert, bicycle officers arrived at the parking lot of the community center and located the three suspects.
One of the teens immediately ran from the scene, Albert said, and was taken into custody a short distance away. As that suspect was running, he allegedly threw a gun over the fence surrounding the pool. That gun was recovered by police, Albert said.

An officer then fired his gun at the teen several times, hitting him. He was taken to a local hospital in stable condition.
The third suspect stayed in the parking lot and complied with police, Albert said, adding that officers recovered a BB gun from that teen.
I can tell you all three males that are in custody, the one that's at the hospital, the two that are here at scene, are all juveniles," Albert said. "One being 16 years old, the other two being 15 years old."
No officers were injured as a result of the incident; Albert said none of the suspects fired at officers.
"We're tired of it," Albert said. "We're tired of teenagers with firearms, I can tell you that. The entire city is tired of it."
Albert said officers with the Ohio Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Investigation are investigating the shooting, as the office does with most of the state's officer-involved shootings.
The community center is the site of a Columbus police substation, so officers were able to respond quickly.
