Press Release By Madison Local School District
Madison Local School District Statement
This morning while en route to Columbus to participate in the State Wrestling Championships, a Madison Local School District van transporting student-athletes and coaches passed the scene of a shooter-involved incident. As the van passed by, a single shot was fired at the van, glancing off of the vehicle. None of the four passengers inside the vehicle were injured, and after reporting the incident to the Columbus City Police Department, the coaches and athletes proceeded to arrive safely at the Schottenstein Center and began preparing to compete. I want to applaud our coaches for their handling of this incident, and we are very thankful for the safe arrival of our coaches and student athletes.
Rob Peterson Superintendent Madison Local School District
