Police responded after they received a 911 call where a person reported a woman was trying to stab them and then hung up, according to The Columbus Dispatch.

Officers responded to the call and ten minutes after it was made an officer-involved shooting was reported.

Authorities have confirmed that the victim was shot by an officer and transported to Mount Carmel East hospital in critical condition but died from their injuries.

No-one else was injured in the incident.

Officials have not released the name of the victim and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is on scene to probe the shooting.

Member of Mother’s of Murdered Columbus Children and other protestors gathered in the area of the shooting, with one person reportedly carrying a sign that read “enough is enough.”

Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther took to Twitter and identified the victim as a young woman on Tuesday evening and urged the community “to remain calm.”
