Columbus OH police have declared an emergency in the downtown area and telling people to stay away from the area. Didnt get any alerts like this last night when things heated up. Wonder whats going on?

(2,225 posts)While I very rarely go on FB, I did today. Last thing I saw was people posting that some folks were throwing things from the freeway overpasses and urging people not to drive on 70. Havent watched the news so I dont know if thats accurate or not.
