Amazon Worker Fleeing Ohio Police Gets Out of Car and Opens Fire on Officers


Columbus, Ohio — On May 12, 2024, at 4:43 pm, West Jefferson Police officers were dispatched to Amazon CMH5 building, located at 6400 State Route 29, for reports of an Active Shooter. According to Police, the 22-year-old Ali Hamsa Yusuf came up behind the supervisor and pointed a gun at the supervisor’s head, but the gun apparently jammed and the bullet barely missed the supervisor, who was not injured. There were more than 100 workers inside the building when the shooting occurred, officials said. When officers arrived on the scene, Yusuf had left.

About 90 minutes later, officers found Yusuf in the area of Georgesville and Clime roads, where a shootout occurred between Madison County Sheriff's Office, CPD, West Jefferson Police Department and Yusuf. The dashcam showed Yusuf running up a small hill to a HomeBuys parking lot, and still firing at the officers behind him. Officers returned fire and Yusuf eventually collapsed on the hill. Starting from Yusuf’s first shot, the continuous exchange of gunfire lasted eight seconds. After the shooting, the officer who groaned realized he had been shot. The bullet from Yusuf's gun that hit the unidentified Columbus police officer, struck him in his bulletproof vest and he was not seriously injured. Yusuf was transported to Doctors West Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 6:57 p.m.. No injuries were reported inside the Amazon facility.
