Shooting in Dayton, Ohio!!!!!

helenS · 36-40, F

"Police in the US state of Ohio are responding to another mass shooting, hours after 20 people died in a mass shooting in a shopping centre at El Paso, Texas.

Videos from the scene show more than five bodies on the ground, covered by white sheets. In another video, shot after shot can be heard.

WHIO-TV reported as many as seven people were dead.
Witnesses said there were what sounded like "40 or 50 shots" outside Ned Peppers Bar.

"There's dead people on the road everywhere... there was just a mass shooting down here," one man at the scene said in a video posted to Facebook.

James Williams posted a video to Facebook in which he described seeing the massacre unfold.

He said the shooter was a man armed with a rifle, an AR-15, wearing earmuffs and a vest. The gunman "just started blowing bullets everywhere".

"Outside the patio where I was sitting there was at least eight dead victims, I don't know how many people have been taken away from other locations. It's awful, I've never seen anything like this before."

A number of bodies were seen covered by white sheets.

@helenS The country is fine. The disease is racism. Not everyone here is that.

@Zonuss I have edited the last line.

I'm seeing news of it too. Thoughts obviously with the families of those dead and injured, but also that in a mental health crisis, the right thing to do is treat the sufferers, not to arm them.
