This marks the second U.S. mass shooting in less than 24 hours.
A gunman wearing body armor and carrying extra magazines opened fire in a popular nightlife area of Dayton, Ohio, killing nine and injuring dozens, authorities say, in the second U.S. mass shooting in less than 24 hours.
The Oregon District is a historic neighborhood that Lt. Col. Matt Carper described as "a safe part of downtown," home to entertainment options, including bars, restaurants and theaters. Miami Valley Hospital spokeswoman Terrea Little said the hospital had received 16 victims, but she couldn't confirm their conditions. Kettering Health Network spokeswoman Elizabeth Long said multiple victims from a shooting had been brought to system hospitals, but she didn't have details on how many.
"People my age, we don't think something like this is going to happen," she said. "And when it happens, words can't describe it." President Donald Trump has been briefed on the shooting and praised law enforcement's speedy response in a tweet Sunday morning. The FBI is assisting with the investigation. A family assistance center was set up at the Dayton Convention Center.
