The motive of the shooter is not yet known and nobody is in custody, according to The Independent, who added that The University of Cincinnati Medical Center said it has received eight patients from the shooting, four of which were in a stable condition, three were seriously injured, and one person was in a critical condition.
Local news outlet WLWT5 reported that Assistant Police Chief Paul Neudigate said hundreds of people were inside the nightclub at the time of the shooting, calling it a “chaotic crime scene.”
“We are in the middle of a very horrific situation that occurred at the nightclub with multiple victims,” Neudigate said. “It’s going to be a long night for our homicide units to investigate.”
“Many of them fled, unfortunately. Many of the witnesses fled, but everyone that we can identify is being interviewed.”
