According to our partners at 10tv, officers responded to the complex on Walford Street on a reported stabbing just after 9 a.m. and found three women stabbed inside the apartment.
Two women were transported to Riverside Methodist Hospital and both died from their injuries. A third woman was taken to Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and remains in critical condition.
Police found a male victim near the scene with stab wounds who was later pronounced dead.
Officers located a male suspect in the yard of the apartment complex. Columbus Police say the officers tased and shot the suspect. He was transported to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Two babies were in the home at the time of the stabbings, but were unharmed in the attack, according to police.
Investigators have not yet released the names of any of the people involved or their relationships to each other.
Community Refugee and Immigration Services (CRIS) told our 10tv partners that some of the victims are members of a family who resettled to the United States from the African country of Eritrea just last summer.
