CINCINNATI (WKRC) - A number of  leaders from around Ohio and the city are weighing in on the active shooter situation in Downtown Cincinnati. Two are dead, at least four people were taken to UC Medical Center. 

Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley had this to say:

First and foremost, our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and their families. Cincinnati's finest police and firefighters acted swiftly and courageously, and we are indebted to their heroic service. They clearly prevented a much worse tragedy and loss of life.
Random mass shootings, which plague our nation, are not normal and we as a country can't allow them to be normalized. Our country is the only first-world nation with this level of mass shootings. This is an American problem that we, as Americans, must solve by putting ideology last and human life first.
Please join me in praying for the victims, praying for our country and join me in this fight to end senseless gun violence. Our hearts are broken today."
