Nine people were injured and at least two shooters are still at large after a shooting in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood on Sunday. A night of fun turned into a chaotic scene with many running as gunfire erupted on Main Street. Cincinnati police told WLWT just before 12 pm Monday, that they don’t have any updates at this time. Here’s what we do know: Nine people were shot after an argument between two groups of people turned into a shootout, at the corner of Main and Woodward streets. Police said at least two people fired shots and they are still at large. The victims range in age from 23 to 47. One victim is a woman, the rest are men. All have been treated and released from the hospital. The shooting unfolded just before closing time at bars in Over-the-Rhine, so the street was packed with people. There were also extra patrols in the area at the time of the shooting because Cincinnati police said they had already beefed up patrols in the area due to other disturbances and gatherings of large crowds in the last month. 15 shots were fired. Police said Officer Joe Shook was able to fire a shot at one of the two people firing a weapon. Police said they don’t know if the gunman was hit. He was last seen running toward Ziegler Park.”When that individual left the scene, there were more shots fired south on Main Street so we know we have at least two people firing,” said Cincinnati Police Department Lt. Colonel Mike John. Councilman and former officer Scotty Johnson said the shooting is a harsh reminder to have personal accountability.”We want everybody to have a good time and enjoy our city.. We want everybody to come downtown and have a good time, but personal accountability has to trump these ridiculous outlandish beefs that are going on in our city,” Johnson said. Monday at 5:30 pm, there will be mental health services provided in conjunction with Talbert House and The City of Cincinnati for service industry in Over-the-Rhine who have been impacted by Sunday’s gun violence. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Cincinnati Police Department are offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those involved in the shooting. Anyone having information about this incident should call ATF at 1-888-ATF-TIPS (888-283-8477). Tips can also be made to 513-413-4625 or to Crime Stoppers at 513-352-3040. People can also email [email protected], or contact ATF through its website at www.atf.gov/contact/atf-tips.
