Police are investigating after someone fired shots into the home of an official at the Ohio Department of Health.
Upper Arlington Police responded to a call just after 8 p.m. in the 1700 block of Berkshire Road on Saturday of shots being fired into the home of Dr. Mary Kate Francis, assistant medical director of the Ohio Department of Health.
No one was injured in the shooting, according to police. An investigation is ongoing and no further details are being released at this time, according to a crime alert from the City of Upper Arlington.
A spokeswoman with the Ohio Department of Health declined to comment on the shooting, due to the fact that it's an open investigation.
Although Francis works at the state health department, she's mostly remained behind the scenes during the pandemic. Her supervisor, medical director Bruce Vanderhoff regularly appears on television during Gov. Mike DeWine's COVID-19 briefings, as did Dr. Amy Acton, former director of the Ohio Department of Health.
