Two Dead Following Triple-Shooting On Northeast Side

Columbus police say two men killed each other during an argument late Friday, while a third man is critically wounded. 

Police have identified the men fatally shot as 26-year-old Calvin Carmichael and 30-year-old James Willis III. Twenty-eight-year-old Anthony Sparkes is hospitalized in critical condition. It's unclear who shot him. Police say the shootings occurred after Willis went to Carmichael's home in the 24 hundred block of Dawnlight Avenue on the northeast side.  Witnesses reported hearing an argument near the front porch of  the home followed by several gunshots.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
