COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — A Columbus woman who shot one man, threatened to shoot another, and fired shots at two police officers was sentenced Monday.
Suney Coleman, 25, was sentenced to 30-33 years in prison for one count of robbery, one count of felonious assault, and two counts of felonious assault of a police officer, according to Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney Gary Tyack's office.
On Nov. 8, 2020, Tyack's office said Coleman shot a man in the upper torso while he sat in his car at Deshler Park in southeast Columbus. The man drove himself to the hospital and survived the shooting.
Less than two weeks later, Tyack's office said Coleman pulled a gun while demanding money from a man parked at a Walgreens. The man convinced Coleman he could get money from an ATM inside the store and when he went in, he told employees what was happening and they called police.
When officers arrived, they found Coleman crouched by a dumpster at a nearby McDonald's. Tyack's office said she opened fire at the two officers, shooting until she was out of ammunition.
Neither officer was injured and Coleman was taken into custody that night.
She pleaded guilty to the charges in August.
