Columbus police ID man struck twice in officer-involved shooting at Northeast apartment complex - News - The Columbus Dispatch

A man who Columbus police say was wielding a knife was struck twice in an officer-involved shooting outside a Northeast Side residence late Wednesday night.

Columbus police said officers were called just before 11 p.m. about a domestic situation in the 4400 block of Shoupmill Drive in the Wellington Way apartment complex off Appian Way, north of Morse Road and just east of Interstate 270.

Police said Joseph Delay, who appeared agitated and belligerent, was holding a knife and quickly began approaching officers who arrived at the scene.

Police said Delay ignored officers' orders to drop the knife, and after two failed attempts to use a Taser on him, one of the officers fired a gun at him.

Delay, 35, was shot twice by the officer, once in the right knee exiting his right thigh and once in the right hand.

Police said Delay was transported in serious but stable condition to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center.

Delay has been charged with two counts of felonious assault on a police officer.

Police had not identified the officers involved early Thursday.
