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.
Just terrifying. Even a less than 1 minute response is still not enough to protect us from assault weapons
ANOTHER MAGATERRORIST
It amazes me that the Left wing people actually believe that the people who commit these acts will not do so in the future because they would be violating gun safety laws.
Like I said.....everyday this happens 😑
Two rounds of “thoughts and prayers” in one day?!?! Wow, it must be Christmas!
I want you guys to imagine one of these victims was you brother, sister, friends, or child. Now imagine how you would feel when after this happens and all you seeing is people talking about the President and not the problem.

God only you can stop the madness 🙏🏻🙏🏻
You all need to stop using trump as a scapegoat. This happened less than two miles from my house and this is our cities problem. The last thing we need is people making this even seem small and meaningless blaming our president. By doing this your pushing the real issue away
USA will send troops any country when ever there is a human right violation. But on its own backyard people can be killed any moment. Is not a human right violation?
DomesticTerrorism
In situation when some country solves all the problems in the world in this way - by force, by weapon (it fixes whatever it does not like this way worldwide), its own citizens are starting to use the same behavioral model internally. The result is the same - innocent victims
We have been taking off our shoes in the airport for the last 18 years because of ONE FAILED BOMB attempt. Are we really so stupid?
9 killed, 26 injured in less than a minute BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t trump just have a rally in Ohio recently?
It says a lot that our country immediately assumes this is another Trump-inflated hate crime. Tell me again why we have this monster in the White House?

Another act by TrumpTerrorists.
Trump has a rally in Cincinnati on Thursday. Within 4 days, a white supremacy mass shooting an hour drive north of it.
Pray for them!
Just horrible that this is still able to continue but realistically, Sandy Hook was the defining moment. If the US didn't care enough about the targeted killing of young kids to change things, the random killing of adults will barely register.
Press needs to stay on this. Keep asking the questions, cheerfully and stupid. Why is it so hard to make changes to gun laws. Trump needs to be held accountable for his inaction. NRA HAS HIM BY HIS TINY BALLS.
Ist that the carnage that Trump was speaking of in 2016? Wake up America!! masshooting
Oh America...why you going kill each other, against each of you...everything now is breaking any kind of America brotherhood...speechless...So sad...
As sad as it sounds, everyday when I read the news it actually doesn’t surprise me anymore. It’s devastating for those who are the victims but when will gun control action come into effect. Follow us with gun laws in Australia and many other countries that don’t have these issues
White naturalists have been empowered by the US’s racist president while easy access to guns increases the risk. We would not put up with this in Australia. We care about lives over guns.
Probably just another 'lone white Male shooter with mental problems.' Isn't that how they describe WHITE NATIONALIST DOMESTIC TERRORISTS?
The gop is getting their “thoughts and prayers” machine up and running for the morning shows. I say “resign now”. You would rather hold power than protect people.
Another day, another shooting. Politicians will offer prayers and thoughts; everyone will forget about it until the next shooting
'Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.' Yeats
Another mass shooting, another 'angry' white male, another nut.
