Police search for suspects in deadly nightclub shooting
CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati police searched for suspects in a nightclub shooting that left one man dead and 15 other people injured and sent club patrons diving to the ground to dodge bullets in what they described as a chaotic and terrifying scene.
A gunfight broke out inside the crowded Cameo club early Sunday after a dispute among several patrons escalated into a shootout, authorities said.
"What we know at this point in the investigation is that several local men got into some type of dispute inside the bar, and it escalated into shots being fired from several individuals," Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot Isaac said.
No suspects were in custody in the shooting at the club, which police said has a history of gun violence.
Isaac said the club has its own security operation that uses detection wands and pat-downs, but that police believe several firearms somehow got inside.
