Grocery drama, a decade-long ban & your weekend plans sorted 🎸
Good morning, Franklin County. It was a rough night in southeast Columbus — a shooting near Leader Square left one person in critical condition, and a Galloway Kroger grocery run turned violent when two teens robbed a shopper just looking for bread and lunch meat. Meanwhile, Ohio State dropped the hammer on Pi Kappa Phi, revoking the fraternity's status for a full decade. On the national front, markets wobbled as oil prices spiked amid fresh Middle East tensions, and the labor market is still doing its quiet "no dramatic moves" thing.
After all that, you've earned a good time — Don Felder goes unplugged Tuesday, Destin Conrad takes the late show Wednesday, and Food Truck Thursday is right around the corner. Fresh listings are also waiting in Real Estate.
