Shooting at Ohio nightclub leaves 1 dead, more injured

Shooting broke out just after 1 AM inside Cincinnati, Ohio nightclub Cameo, CNN affiliate WLWT reports. One person was killed and at least 14 others were injured, at least one of whom is in critical condition. Read on for more of WLWT’s report:

Assistant Police Chief Paul Neudigate said that several of the victims have life-threatening injuries.

“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.”

Hundreds of people were inside of the nightclub at the time of the shooting, and called it a “chaotic crime scene.” Police initially said multiple shooters fired shots inside of the nightclub. However, Neudigate has said there is “only one reported shooter at this time.”

One witness told WLWT News 5 that he heard the club’s DJ call for security about 10 minutes before the shooting.

Surveillance cameras were inside the club at the time of the shooting, police said.

Cameo nightclub has had several issues in the past, authorities said. The club allows admission to anyone over the age of 18.

“We are aware of it. It has had some challenges in the past,” Neudigate said.

According to Cameo Nightclub’s facebook page, last night was one of their recurring Saturday night 21+ “grown and sexy nights.”
