A deadly shooting that happened last Friday at a Columbia Airbnb is sparking a bigger conversation about whether short-term rental properties are bringing violence into neighborhoods.

The incident at S Bar and Grill was one of two fatal Columbia shootings in one night. Four people were shot leaving one dead in Columbia’s downtown Elmwood Park neighborhood early Friday morning at a party in a short-term rental, according to police. Three others were injured and taken to the hospital.

After a shooting left 1 dead and 3 hurt in Columbia, calls are growing to rethink how short-term rentals affect neighborhood safety and oversight.
