The city prosecutor’s office said in Columbus, Ohio, that it will not file charges against two Ohio State basketball players accused of assault and the firing of a gun during a disturbance.

Daniel Smith, a former roommate of Buckeye guard Greg Simpson, told police that Simpson, forward Charles Macon and another person threw bricks at him in his apartment on June 9. Smith told police he heard two to three gunshots as he fled.

Rob Levering, an assistant city prosecutor, said his office did not plan to file charges because it was unable to substantiate the police report.
