Cops were dispatched to the Doubles bar and nightclub in Hamilton, Ohio, US, to reports of an active shooter.
[ ]
The situation is developing but there is already one confirmed death and multiple injuries.
Police Chief Craig Bucheit said detectives are still trying to determine the number of victims. Officers are unsure of number of shooters and the motive.
[ ]
Witness Tolu Adeseha said he was inside the bar when he heard at least 15 shots go on for what "felt like hours" and said he saw multiple people with guns.

“You had people trying to play dead and things like that. This is an active shooter and I was trying to tell a girl next to me, you can’t cry, I know it’s traumatic for you, but you got to stay silent or play dead.”

One of those right wing tea partiers again?
Let me be the first to say we may never know why the Mooslim shooter did it, but it had nothing to do with Islam.
“This is a problem location that has very sporadic hours and days of operation,” he [Scott Scrimizzi, Director of Public Safety] said. “Right now, what is even more concerning to me is that lack of cooperation from the patrons who were inside but unwilling to cooperate with the police.”
More like trying to line their Jomamas up for the gravy train.
You got it right the first time. Gang bangers. "Snitches get stitches and fall into ditches."
Happened way early this AM....who and what???? And why aren’t they letting us know more???
My autocorrect makes it "freezers."
Any Ohio creepers with more info, please post updates.
My autocorrect makes it “freezers.”

It seems that auto correct took over in post 22.
Sorry about that!
Thanks for that link.
Officers have been called to 1555 Main St. 43 times since December 2013, according police records.

Police hoping for cooperation in deadly Hamilton bar shooting
Yogi.
I used to live in Hamilton! Less than a mile from location. Talked to a buddy who lives nearby and has a daughter that works in a Skyline restaurant a few doors down.
He tells me that the bar caters to African Americans late at night. And that it is pretty rough. (All strange because the West Side of Hamilton is the white side.)
There are always fights and drug sales arrests outside and nearby when the bar is open. Probably just a guy or two playing shoot em up after being dissed. Tho the local press says it was a “long gun” that did the shooting.
Funny, but in my youth, we used to street race on that stretch of road before it got all built up. We used to start at the Sage Patch, a country western bar up the road a couple hundred yards.
‘69 Firebird 400 vs. ‘69 Camaro Z/28 was one of the most fun!
Thanks for your insight!
*ouch*
;D
From the update on WHIO:
“This is a problem location that has very sporadic hours and days of operation,” he said. “Right now, what is even more concerning to me is that lack of cooperation from the patrons who were inside but unwilling to cooperate with the police.”
That pretty much explains what happened early this morning.
In my area places that constantly require police intervention close fairly quickly; if they can’t legally suspend the liquor license they just cruise the area for a few weeks until they get some DUIs (and everyone else learns to avoid the place).
A neighboring town closed down a go-go place like that; it was in a residential area and there were no legal grounds to deny them opening the place, but nature takes its course...
Well, at least I got the right sport (and even the right century).
Clinton campaign?
a man moved there from Chicago and the killings are a southside missionary effort to spread the philosophyl
Oh it makes the news, and then gets swept under the rug quickly.... Just like it looks like this one has been.
