COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A toddler has been hospitalized Saturday after a shooting in Columbus' Driving Park neighborhood.

Columbus police found the toddler suffering from a gunshot wound at the scene. Emergency crews took him to Nationwide Children's Hospital, where he was in stable condition as of 11:55 p.m.

Investigators said someone fired multiple shots into the toddler's home, resulting in him being struck. Columbus police did not have any information on a possible suspect as of Saturday night.

Several Columbus police cars remained at the scene with emergency lights on. Officers also set up crime scene tape stretching across the street.

The Columbus Division of Police asked anyone with information on the shooting to call its felony assault unit at 614-645-4141.

After months of legal wrangling, Rudy Giuliani on Friday turned over his luxury sports car, several watches, a ring and financial assets to two Georgia election workers he defamed in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, his lawyer wrote Friday. A federal jury ordered Giuliani last year to pay Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss nearly $150 million for defaming them with false accusations that the mother and daughter committed election fraud while the two were counting ballots in Georgia's Fulton County on Election Day in 2020. The attorneys for both sides waged a back in forth in court for months over the delivery of those assets and, last week, attorneys representing Freeman and Moss said Giuliani's apartment was virtually empty when their receivership entered the property.
