All of the victims were males with the youngest being 16 years old and the oldest being 27, according to local Fox affiliate WJW.
At least two of the victims are teenagers.
One victim is reportedly in critical condition while the others have all been described as stable.
The shooting occurred along North High Street between Standard Hall and Michael’s Goody Boy.
Police working in the area responded after hearing several gunshots, according to WJW.
After arriving on the scene, officers found six different people with gunshot wounds.
The victims were taken to multiple different local hospitals, including one who was transported in a police car.
The four other victims arrived at local hospitals after driving themselves.
A motive behind the shooting has not yet been released.
It was not immediately clear whether the victims and the gunman knew each other.
As of Sunday morning, police are still searching for the suspected gunman.
Columbus Police Sgt. Joe Albert has described the suspect as a male who was dressed in all black.
The alleged gunman reportedly fled in a white Honda Civic after the shooting.
The vehicle was pursued by police along North 4th Street and Interstate 670, according to WJW.
Police attempted to stop the car several times.
However, officers ultimately lost track of the vehicle on Grandview Avenue.
Police have since released images of the suspect’s vehicle, calling on anyone with information to contact them.
Those with information about the shooting or the suspect can contact Columbus Police Detective Jones by calling 614-645-4373 or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-645-474.
The shooting reportedly marks the second time the Short North Arts neighborhood has seen a mass shooting in just over a year.
On May 6, 2023, 10 other victims were shot and left injured in two simultaneous shootings in the area.
At least one person was shot by an officer during the incident.
Sunday’s shooting also comes just days after four people were shot and killed during a mass shooting at a supermarket in Fordyce, Arkansas.
Ten others were also shot and injured.
The accused gunman, Travis Eugene Posey, 44, was arrested after engaging in a shoot-out with police.
He faces three counts of capital murder, though more charges are expected.
