Weekend Update: Hit-and-Run, Shooting Charges, Winter Weather Impacts, and More Local News

Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Sunday, February 8. We start with a somber crime report from the past day. An adult pedestrian remains in critical condition after a hit-and-run Saturday afternoon at Wayne Avenue and Eakin Road near Franklinton. The sedan fled the scene without stopping, and police urge anyone with info to call the Accident Investigation Unit. Separately, News Center 7 reports an 18-year-old, Izariyah Edwards, charged with felonious assault in last fall's shooting outside Beechcroft High School that injured two students leaving homecoming. Our hearts go out to those affected as investigations continue. Recent heavy snow from Friday still lingers, making roads slick around I-270 and High Street, so we drive carefully today. Expect partly cloudy skies with highs near 32 degrees and light flurries possible this afternoon, easing up by evening for safer travel to events. City Hall updates include no major votes this week, but crews are plowing side streets like those near Scioto River bridges to keep daily commutes moving. In new business news, a heartbreaking fire Friday night destroyed Woodland Run Equine Veterinary on Borror Road in Grove City, claiming up to six horses. The Standardbred community mourns this loss near Scioto Downs, with the cause still under probe. On a brighter note, Circleville Tigers grabbed sole lead in MSL Buckeye boys basketball with a 56-33 win over Fairfield Union last night. And Buckeyes fans, gear up in scarlet: we host No. 2 Michigan mens hoops today at 1 p.m. at the Schottenstein Center, live on CBS. A rivalry clash that could shake the Big Ten. Upcoming, catch community events like winter markets at North Market tomorrow. Local schools shine too, with strong showings in recent league play. For feel-good vibes, neighbors rallied to aid fire victims, showing our tight-knit spirit. Real estate holds steady with about 1,200 listings citywide, median prices around 350,000 dollars. Jobs look solid, over 15,000 openings in tech and healthcare per recent postings. Thanks for tuning in, listeners—subscribe for daily updates. This has been Columbus Local Pulse.
