Columbus police leaders on Monday provided an update to Saturday's violence in the Short North.

Chief Elaine Bryant said a total of 10 people were shot at two different scenes on North High Street at about 2:30 a.m. Saturday, one in the 600 block and one in the 800 block.

It was the first time, 60 hours after the shootings, that police confirmed exactly how many people were injured.

"This scene was extremely chaotic," Bryant said during a news conference Monday afternoon before two officer-worn video clips were released for the first time.

The video confirmed the chaotic nature of the events. Officers went from breaking up fights along a sidewalk to responding to shots being fired by returning fire with their own weapons. The first officer video released lasted nine minutes and was littered with screaming and shouting and an officer's repeated commands to one suspect to "drop the gun."

Both of the videos showed victims bleeding. ABC 6 live-streamed the news conference with warning language, alerting viewers to the possibility that some of the imagery could be disturbing.

Bryant also said all of the shooting victims were between the ages of 18 and 27, adding that all were expected to survive.

How many of the 10 were shot by officers is under investigation, but the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation said it "can confirm that two individuals were injured as a result of the officer-involved shooting with Columbus Police."

Due to BCI taking over the investigation, Bryant could not confirm who was shot by officers.

"At this time, we can not definitively tell you how many people may have been injured or shot by officers," Bryant said. "We do know at least one, but we can’t tell you definitively. There was so many shots occurring there, multiple crossfire. At this point, with it being a BCI investigation, we’ll have to wait to make a determination.”
