One dead, 14 hurt in nightclub shooting

WASHINGTON: Gunfire erupted in a crowded Ohio nightclub yesterday after a personal dispute boiled over, killing one person and leaving 14 wounded, authorities said.

The gunman remained at large following the shooting at the Cameo nightclub in Cincinnati that assistant police chief Paul Neudigate said was packed with revellers.

“There are no indications this incident is terrorism related,” he said on Twitter.

It was unclear how many shooters were involved. Authorities initially said there were at least two, but Neudigate later tweeted that there was “only one reported shooter at this time, still investigating if others involved”.

Cameo was the site of two shooting incidents in 2015, local news station WLWT reported. Someone was shot in the foot there on New Year’s Day, and a shooting victim was found in the parking lot in September, WLWT said. – AFP
