Police say the active shooter situation began at 1 a.m. in the Oregon District, outside "Ned Peppers" a local bar, but that officers nearby were able to "put an end to it quickly." The Oregon District is a historic neighborhood known for its entertainment offerings.
Tweets from the Dayton police early Sunday did not include further details, but described the Oregon District shooting as "a large scene and investigation." Miami Valley Hospital spokeswoman Terrea Little said that 16 victims have been received at the hospital, but she couldn't confirm their conditions.
Further information, including the suspected shooter's identity, has not yet been released.
The FBI is assisting with the investigation.
Sunday's shooting came hours after 20 people were killed and more than two dozen injured in a shooting in El Paso, Texas.
