Good morning, Columbus.

Columbus police investigated a shooting on 10th Street today that injured one person as officers took a suspect into custody within the hour while the victim is treated at Piedmont Columbus Regional (official details remain limited).

Columbus State University is launching the CSU Gives virtual fundraising campaign in honor of Cody the Cougar turning 55; alumni and friends can donate $5 or more starting April 8 to support academic, athletic and student success projects+the celebration on April 9 at Cougar Field will include free treats, photo opportunities and softball games.

Some Columbus residents reported delays in renewing their SNAP benefits and had difficulty reaching case workers, leaving them without food assistance.

Officials say the rise in SNAP applications and a shortage of staff are prompting plans to upgrade technology.

Senate Bill 68 passed the state House and Senate and now awaits Governor Brian Kemp’s signature as it seeks to reform civil lawsuits and set a higher standard for suing businesses.

One Columbus mom said the bill will hurt her family’s effort to get money to care for her son, who suffered a traumatic brain injury after an accident in August 2023.
