Reports are emerging this morning of another attack on American police, this time in the Ohio capital of Columbus.
A Columbus Police Dispatch was heard via scanner as saying “Officials under attack from rifle fire.”
While it is not clear yet if anyone has been hurt or killed, it is the third such attack in two weeks – following on the heels of fatal police attacks in the cities of Dallas and Baton Rouge.
Ohio has been playing host to the Republican National Convention this year where Donald Trump was confirmed as the Republican presidential nominee – but Cleveland and Columbus are two hours and 140km apart.
