A mass shooting near Toledo’s Old West End Festival injured at least 12 people, some critically, and police say two shooters may have been firing at each other. No suspect has been detained yet and investigators are still searching for the perpetrators. Officials, including the mayor and the governor, have expressed concern and urged calm as the investigation continues.
So, 12 people being shot, that's the most -- I've been to a lot of scenes, but this was way over the top.
We are at the mercy of the evidence in the video that we're collecting.
There's kids out there that probably know more than all of us standing here.
If we get help from the community, it'll be hopefully sooner than later.
Twelve people were struck with bullets... two of them critical.
I am imploring my fellow Toledoans to look through your cellphone video and reach out to TPD and help them catch the people who did this.
But we should never shrug our shoulders and accept it as the price of living in a free society. As a country, we must do better.
What happened today at the Old West End Festival, sadly, has happened in too many American cities.
The investigation currently includes scenes in the area of Delaware Avenue and Robinwood Avenue. Residents and visitors are asked to avoid the area and expect a significant police presence as officers continue their search and investigators work to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The Toledo Police Department is actively searching for the suspect or suspects involved.
At approximately 5:37 p.m., Toledo Police officers responded to a report of a person shot in the area of Delaware Avenue and Glenwood Avenue near the Old West End Festival. Upon arrival, officers discovered multiple shooting victims. Many victims have been transported to nearby medical facilities for treatment.
We are confident that law enforcement will locate the suspects involved in this senseless crime.
I am deeply concerned about the situation in Toledo tonight. Summer festivals should be safe spaces for families to spend time together without fear of violence.
The folks who were hit were spread out around the arboretum area.
