There is no information about the suspects or what led up to the shooting, Theetge said.

“This is absolutely unacceptable in our city, unacceptable that on a Friday night six people were shot in one incident,” Theetge said. “It’s not humane to pull out a gun and shoot people recklessly.”

On Friday, Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval said in X“Tonight there was a horrible tragedy in the West End. The children were shot. At least one life was lost. “Our friends and neighbors feel unimaginable fear, trauma and anger.”
