Gunmen kills three and himself

A gunman opened fire yesterday morning in a building in the heart of Cincinnati in an attack that left him and three other people dead, police said.

The shooting sent people scrambling across the city’s Fountain Square amid cries of “shooter!” It happened at a 30-story building, the headquarters for regional banker Fifth Third Bancorp and other businesses, including popular ice cream, and sandwich shops.

The bank building was locked down and surrounding streets and sidewalks were closed off.

Police Chief Eliot Isaac said the shooter opened fire at about 9:10am.
