At least 18 people were shot, including four killed, as gunfire erupted in several places around the city overnight, authorities said Sunday.

Officers responded just after 12:30 a.m. Sunday to the Avondale neighborhood and found 21-year-old Antonio Blair with gunshot wounds, police said in a statement. He was taken to University Hospital and died there, they said. Three other gunshot victims were also taken to the hospital.

At about 2:15 a.m., officers responded to a report of gunfire in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood where 10 people were shot, police said. One died at the scene and another at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center; they were identified in a statement as 34-year-old Robert Rogers and 30-year-old Jaquiez Grant.

This will be blamed on ‘gun violence’. It’s violence all right, but it’s not the guns being violent—but who is must not be said.

Over-the-Rhine has a history of violence. They have worked to turn things around. This looks like a setback. It could drive people out again if they don't get it under control.

How Cincinnati Salvaged the Nation’s Most Dangerous Neighborhood

Just five years ago, David Knox and two colleagues took a risk. They relocated their nascent organization to Over-the-Rhine, a Cincinnati neighborhood that had been the site of days of civil unrest in 2001 and had recently been named the most dangerous in the United States.

What I learned most is that you seriously do not want to go to the Univ hospital if you get shot. Just take me somewhere else.

For reference, this is a map of the City of Cincinnati neighborhoods.

Over-the-Rhine is just North of Downtown

Avondale and Walnut Hills are just Northeast of Downtown.

The West End, is Obviously West of Downtown.

The unlabeled “neighborhoods” are separate cites or villages that are enclaves surrounded by Cincinnati. It should also be noted that Cincinnati’s population is only about 12-15% of the Metro Area’s population.

Meanwhile just down the road, a secret grand jury indicts a 29 year old mom of two, who police arrest last Friday and throw in jail without bail until a drunkard of a judge can officially charge her tomorrow. And BTW, she also must appear at child protective services hearing tomorrow to see who gets her two children.

My daughter lived in Over The Rhine from early 2011 to mid 2013. She absolutely loved the area, but did take precautions. She rented a beautiful mid 1800’s apartment that was being renovated. It was a pretty nice place for a young woman. The security cameras helped us feel better about her living there.
