, Ohio.

Cleveland Division of Police spokesperson Jennifer Ciaccia said that no deaths have been reported.

"Preliminary information indicates that a suspect opened fire towards a group of people and then expeditiously departed at a goodly pace," Ciaccia said in a statement.

The officers responded to the scene as they were nearby working a weekly detail around 2:30am to West 6th Street and Johnson Court for a report of multiple people shot, the statement said.

Police "arrived quickly" and provided medical aid on the scene to the injured people.

"Investigators are in the process of reviewing evidence and video, as well as interviewing victims at MetroHealth Medical Center," Ciaccia’s statement said, adding that "no additional information was immediately available."

The shooting comes just days after a series of fatal shootings that occurred during the Fourth of July celebration in Shreveport, Louisiana, leaving at least four people dead with multiple injured.

According to Shreveport Police Lt. Van Ray, two bodies were found when authorities arrived and a third person died at a hospital.

Local Councilwoman Tabatha Taylor also expressed about the Shreveport shooting telling news hounds that she was "livid" and the shooting was "catastrophic, at best".

"Now we are the victim of a mass shooting in our community simply because individuals decided to come in and disrupt a good time that individuals were having," she said.

"A family event that has gone on for years in our community has been disrupted by gunfire because somebody decided to pull their guns and do this. Why, why? My other choice words cannot be articulated on camera."

There have been no arrests and the police have not yet identified the shooters.

...SH,

In fairness, it's Cleveland - enthusiasm and accuracy are often mutually exclusive.
