COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The driver of a vehicle that crashed into an apartment unit in Ohio on Sunday,
igniting a fire, died at the scene, police said.
Witnesses said gunshots were heard in the area just before the crash that occurred around 4:30 p.m.,
Columbus police said. The driver’s death is being investigated as a homicide, according to a police news

positive identification.
Another male who was in the vehicle at the time of the crash received minor injuries, according to
police. No other injuries were reported.
