Nine people were killed in Ohio Sunday morning less than 24 hours after over a dozen were killed in a shooting incident in El Paso, Tex.
According to a press conference given by Mayor Dayton Nan Whaley, at least 26 others were injured, but no details about the victims were released.
Dayton police tweeted at about 1 a.m. Sunday morning that an active shooter situation was ongoing in the city’s historic district.
Police believe there was only one shooter, and have not yet revealed the identity of the suspect or their motive.
The suspect used a long gun and fired multiple rounds, though did not specifically identify the gun used.
The shooter is also deceased after being shot to death by responding officers, police stated during the conference.
The shooting took place in the Oregon District, a historic neighbourhood that Carper described as “a safe part of downtown,” home to entertainment options, including bars, restaurants and theatres. The shooting took place outside, on the 400 block of East 5th Street.
