COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Surveillance video showing an Ohio judge being shot and wounded at a courthouse before the assailant was himself shot and killed has been released by a county prosecutor.
The video was made public by Jefferson County Prosecutor Jane Hanlin following a three-year open records fight for the footage brought by The Associated Press. The Ohio Supreme Court ruled last month the video is a public record that should be released.
The court rejected the prosecutor’s arguments that releasing the video could endanger court personnel by revealing details of security protocol.
