At least nine people are dead and more than a dozen wounded after someone opened fire in downtown Dayton, Ohio, according to police.
In addition, the suspected shooter was shot and killed by responding officers. Police said they are only aware of one shooter.
Authorities responded quickly to the shooting, first reported at 1 a.m., and said police are regularly present in the crowded district popular with tourists and locals.
Miami Valley Hospital spokesperson Terrea Little told ABC News that they have received 16 victims from the shooting in the Oregon District. She did not provide further information on their injuries. Dayton police confirmed that "at least" 16 people were injured in area hospitals.

"This is a large scene and investigation. Thank you for your patience," Dayton police added in a subsequent tweet.
Two bars in the Oregon District -- Hole in the Wall and Ned Peppers -- wrote on Instagram that their staff was safe.
Kettering Health Network, which operates eight hospitals in the Dayton and Cincinnati areas, said it was treating patients, but offered no specifics.

Claims the pos from el paso was a “progressive”. So, what about Dayton? Gang? Someone dissed? We all know what’s coming.
“Is it possible that the “ear protection” is actually headphones to communicate?”
My thoughts as well. Were they hearing voices to keep them hypnotized and in line?
Actually, I think the New Zealand shooting may have taken place in a different country, so different authorities were making decisions about what to release and when.
Over here the media and everyone were saying they were not going to show it.
Now they go to 8Chan, a notorious site for putting out hoaxes , and quickly put it out there to blame Republicans, conservatives and Patriots.
My wife worked in a mill and she said crazy people wore them. The shooters are probably autistic and can’t stand the noise.
I vote for organized leftist attacking.
That will be put forth by the MSM as copy cat shooter, or lone ranger type.
Curious there’s no word yet on the POS perps identity.
They are programmed. Kids play video games all the time, with headphones, listening to others and communicating while they play.
Until this moment I had never given a thought as to how you could use these video games to identify, control, and condition people. People communicate on the games and it would be easy to find the angry, the lonely, the unstable, socially awkward and “friend” them to work them and control them. Perfect to to find those worth conditioning into murderers.
It bothers me to even think these thoughts, but I find that this is possible and believable.
agree 100%
What if this is the shooter’s actual views on race, “invasion” etc, and the views sound a lot like typical freeper opinions?
Then his views on Global Warming do not. Then what?
Several of these shootings have an underlying environmental reason. The rants of some autistic loner are not reasons, just symptoms.
The only person at Fault is the Shooter that committed the crime, and not someone expressing their first Amendment right to have an opinion.
As for ANTIFA they are making public threats agains the public. Threatening people with terrorist attacks and extreme violence is not protected speech.
Violence in the streets, federal crackdown, and in 5 years the Dems may take the White House. Dangerous times....
“I can’t recall ever hearing about a mass murderer wearing ear protection, and now have been two within 12 hours. Very strange.”
Whoever is directing these activities seriously thinks that conservatives walk around with cargo pants, ear and eye protection. Looks like something out of the Red movie franchise.
Martial law?
If that happens,WELCOME to CW 2.
Then, how politically fortunate for the left - a pair (so far) of shootings to grab all the headlines and provide a platform to support one of their big agenda items - civilian disarmament.
Yes, a tragedy for the people and families involved, but a political gift of epic proportions to the left. I hope the DOJ, FBI, et. al. is up to the task of thoroughly investigating the perpetrators. Because the cynic in me, the guy that has seen the left become ever more extreme, has no problem believing the left put them up to this or triggered them in some way. Maybe they pushed a few unstable people, and (so far) these two have responded, flipped.
Might not take much, some inflammatory posts on social media sights they were known to read. Maybe a casual in-person conversation or two with someone they bumped into who "really understood" them or whose ideas really resonated with them. (nearly untraceable)
Even if these were purely random acts and random timing... The calls for "common sense gun control" will be ringing through the ether from the pro-disarmament leftists - probably before all the victims' bodies are processed and released to next of kin. Here's a litmus test for every single proposed "common sense" law: apply a little common sense. Ask how, specifically, that proposed law would have stopped either of these recent incidents. Ask how that proposed law, when added to the 20,000+ federal, state, and local "gun control" laws would make a difference. Here's a hint, they wouldn't. Obviously not one of the 20,000 laws stopped these or other incidents.
What does stop them? An armed response. What stopped the Gilroy Garlic festival shooter? Armed police on-site immediately ran to the sound of gunfire. It is long past time we stopped being defensive about being pro-2nd Amendment, pro freedom, and pro safety. No more defensive legal tactics of trying to hold back the left's disarmament incrementalism. It is time we go on the legal attack. Here's my suggestion for the first two salvos: 1) End these idiotic and dangerous "gun free zones" - make such a notion illegal. All a "gun free zone" sign or policy does is say to the potential shooter "Hey, here's where you can find a pool of relatively defenseless potential victims. You'll probably have minutes to accomplish whatever you want..." Personally, I no-longer patronize businesses that are "gun free" victim zones. 2) Push for nationwide reciprocity on concealed carry. My driver's license works nationwide. My cell phone, etc. I've been background investigated and trained (more thoroughly than for said drivers license!), why shouldn't I be able to protect myself equally from coast to coast? To borrow one of the left's favorite phrases, "it's only fair" right?
I see PDJT REELECTED in 2020. Law and order will make a BIG COMEBACK, mark my words.
So a white guy concerned about a ‘race invasion’ goes and shoots white ppl?
Patently absurd. Please don’t repeat the Leftist false flag narrative.
It’s LEFTISTS. That’s all it is. Leftists killing our rights and liberties and ultimately people. It’s all they ever do.
