Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley says the gunman in a mass shooting that killed nine people in Ohio was wearing body armor and had extra magazines.
The mayor said she would provide frequent updates throughout the day with the next one scheduled for 10 a.m. EDT.Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has issued a statement following a mass shooting in Dayton that killed nine people. Nikita Papillon says she heard the shooting and ran out of Newcom’s Tavern, where she saw bodies on the ground.Tianycia Leonard says she heard “loud thumps” she initially thought were people pounding on a dumpster. The 28-year-old says she then realized “it was gunshots and there was a lot of rounds.”
According to the AP/USA Today/Northeastern University database, the Dayton shooting is the 22nd mass killing and sixth public mass shooting in the U.S. in 2019. It came just hours after 20 people were killed in an El Paso, Texas, shooting.A police spokesman in Dayton, Ohio, says the second mass shooting in the U.S. in less than 24 hours took place in “a safe part of downtown.”
Dayton police announced that the suspect in the early Sunday morning shooting is also deceased. At least 16 others have been taken to local hospitals with injuries. The tweets from 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 16 victims have been received at the hospital, but she couldn’t confirm their conditions.
We are no longer a civilized nation
Yet snowflake gunaholics still grasp their guns like a teddy bear even though change needs to happen
Oh how sad is it... when you're reading the news about a mass shooting in one city... and suddenly realize that youre readinf about another one has happened in a different city 😕
ClevelandScene Just sad. Bad people will always do bad things unfortunately leaving sadness behind them.
America has a Nazi problem.
Lol he was white, just say it. We know already 🤦🏾♂️

• Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio says “thoughts and prayers are not enough” • White House officials said Trump, who is spending the weekend at his New Jersey golf club, would be updated on both shootings throughout the day. DaytonOhio ElPaso
Wake up this morning only to read and to see the bloodbaths going on in U.S.A, the final result all of the hate campaign being run by the United States president, totally guilty for the death of all of these good people. walmartshooting Texas Ohio
Two mass shootings in just as many days, and the US has a travel advisory for Sri Lanka?!
VThePR Body armor. Extra magazines. All that was for protection and deer hunting, right?
You hear of these things happening and are horrified. You know deep down that it can happen anywhere, but you still never expect it. Then it does happen in your city. In my city. I hope that some day this nation comes to it’s senses and ends this nightmare.
I wonder what kind of mental disability makes people drive 9 hours to a border town or wear body armor before opening fire on strangers. Maybe GregAbbott_TX the evil Texas governor knows.
ShelleyOFox45 But the El Paso murderer had no armor, one magazine and was in a liberal concealed carry state and managed to hit 46 killing 20 and was not even shot. Yeah, all of this makes perfect sense.
Guns don’t kill people. Americans do.
29 innocent people lost their lives yesterday and many others were injured... Please do not point fingers - instead - help towards a solution...
2 the people of Dayton & El Passo who've suffered unimaginable tragedies this weekend I send my love I embrace U all My greatest wish is that all America realises that diversity is a treasure 2B cherished Be U President or else spewing racism is punishable Justice must b served
This is not suspicious at all.....
Tt means he's not prep 2 die like most massacre killers. Tt he's perfectly mental sound, pls put him.on trial & sentence him for long term sentence w/o parole then let others torture him to death in prison… Bcos injustice death is the only punishment gd for tis kind of bastard!
2 Republican states with the most laxed gun laws in the country.
Welcome to removing God from our public school systems and our country.
JonLemire Why are civilians sold body armor?
Why is body armor still being sold if it doesn’t work? All the “mass shooters” conveniently get killed while wearing it.
If this is another TrumpanzeeDomesticTerrorist vigilantly look out for more. They are every bit as radicalized as the Muslim Terrorists they fear so much. They want their PervertedChristianity to be AmericanShariaLaw BloodOnTrump BloodOnGOP DomesticTerrorist HateShouldHang
NRA be like
Omg he had body armor. White supremacy needs to be labeled a terrorist organization.
Clearly he was mentally ill.... (this is sarcasm)
Fifty years from now, 130 year old guy’s being interviewed: Reporter: To what do you attribute your longevity? Old guy: Agoraphobia.

He has come equipped and well planned and prepared with extra magazines to kill more number of people.
We JUST had a Tornado now this?! This is sick
Were the cosmopolitan magazines headlining Mariah gets anything she wants
America America God shed his grace on thee......LMAO!
It’s so fucking normal now and most people seem not to care. And congress will still not do anything. Sad.
Sounds about white
So sad that no one in our government is brave enough to do something about this. I blame BOTH parties and especially the NRA.
Where are all the good fellows with guns? We need more of them ... so sad 😞
...another crazy white dude? Why is it 'crazy white dude' when everyone else is 'domestic terrorism'? Why don't we discuss the 'algorithms' via social media that fuel this shit?
fahadwaziri He is a shooter now 😂 Call him what he is, a terrorist.
Another democrat shooter trying to get things on fire for the next debate.
We’re in a country that arms it civilians like the military without blinking a fucking eye.
USA Today. Shithole out of control. President watching tv
And 20 MAGA hats.
Wait, so him wearing a vest makes me think this was planned by the shooter and not like some drunk argument that went way out of control.
WTH!!!
White Suspect. Please stop protecting his identity. WhiteSupremacistTerrorism
When is this going to stop? 2020 no more lives taken please.
Why are terrorists taking over America?
One more Trump terrorist.
Here's Mitch's real take on the mass murders. Recorded 2013. Mitch knows what his voters want to hear.
Stop reporting on shootings and you won't have copy cats.

The only magazines people should have in this country are ones you can read
And he was white?
