COLUMBUS, Ohio — Statehouse officials have released surveillance footage showing the moments a 16-year-old boy was fatally shot on the lawn of the Ohio Statehouse Sunday night.
Columbus police officers responded to the Statehouse just after 10 p.m. where they found Broderick Harper on the lawn.
Officers tried to resuscitate him but the teen was pronounced dead at the scene.
Surveillance video from a camera on High Street shows four people on scooters pull up in the front of the Statehouse and stop just to the left of the front steps.
The video shows Broderick, who was in a group with three other people riding scooters, quickly falling backward. The three other people took off in different directions.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol is handling the investigation. If anyone has any information, they are asked to call 614-466-2660.
