2017 Cincinnati nightclub shooting

In the early morning hours of March 26, 2017, a shootout occurred at the Cameo nightclub in southeastern Cincinnati, Ohio. One person was killed and 17 others were injured. No arrests were made in the aftermath of the shootout. Events: The shootout occurred around 1:30 a.m. EDT at Cameo nightclub. The club itself is a large single-story structure, located directly to the west of the Cincinnati Municipal Lunken Airport, 7 miles (11 km) from downtown Cincinnati near the southeast corner of the city. It was previously called Club Cameo, and before that, a gay club known as Adonis. Police believe multiple shooters were involved, though this is disputed. Hundreds of people were in the nightclub when the shooting began, with officers describing the crime scene as "chaotic". The club maintains a high security profile, usually posting two off-duty police officers at the front door and two in their parking lot. There is no indication the incident was terrorism related. The perpetrator or perpetrators are currently unknown and believed to be at large. Cincinnati Assistant police chief Paul Neudigate later tweeted that only one gunman was reported. The event was initially believed to be a mass shooting. On March 27, however, Chief Isaac stated that the shooting occurred after several local men who were patrons at the club got into an argument, which later escalated into a shootout between them. Victims: Several of the injured drove themselves to area hospitals, and some had sustained life-threatening injuries, according to police officials. Eight victims were taken to University of Cincinnati Medical Center, one of whom was in critical condition. Of the remaining, three suffered serious injuries, while four were stable. Two additional victims were taken to The Christ Hospital with minor injuries. Others were treated at Bethesda North Hospital, Mercy West Hospital and Anderson Mercy Hospital. Officers at the scene attempted to administer CPR to the individual that died, but were unsuccessful.
