Authorities say a suspect shot by police had altered a BB gun to make it look like a firearm and purposely tried to provoke officers in central Ohio.
The city's interim police chief says a 26-year-old man was shot in the hip late Wednesday after he raised his hand holding what appeared to be a firearm when police told him to drop the weapon.
Chief Barry Connell says three officers confronted the man, who was taken to a Columbus hospital. His condition wasn't available Thursday night.
