So far, not clear if terrorism or crime

#8  Cincinnati's ace black mayor declared that Cincy was a Sanctuary City in January.

Did he? How foolish of him, Mugsy Glink.

The Cincinnati Chief of Police is now on television making a announcement of What We Know:

The bar was very crowded. "Several" men got into a dispute before shots were fired. The dead man has been identified as Obrian [that's what it sounded like] Spikes, aged 27. Off-duty police are hired to patrol the parking lot, other security personnel inside the building are supposed to "wand" those entering the building [presumably for weapons]. Some of the wounded have already been treated and released from hospital.

The mayor is appealing for witnesses to come forward so the guilty can be punished.

#7  The police say it is not terrorism, according to the local newspaper. There was big brawl before someone started shooting, the club has a history of gun violence, and the authorities have collected a number of firearms that they are testing to find the guilty one.

As I am typing this the television is reporting that the shooting was the outcome of a dispute that started earlier in the day and that there were four off-duty police officers there as hired security.

While starting the article Page 1 was correct, based on this information I am now moving it to Page 3.

#3  I'd go with this:

Capt. Kim Williams says authorities are not sure what prompted the shooting.

She says the scene was chaotic when the gunfire erupted but several officers working as security at the club performed first aid and tried to revive the person that died.

She says the crowd there is often very young and they have had trouble in the past, but "this is the worst by far".


At 1 a.m., two other (non-fatal) shootings there in 2015, and plenty of off-duty cops as security. Most of the witnesses fled.

Crime.

#2  Could be both with ridiculous ease...

#1  If it was a black nightclub it was a crime. If the shooters name was 'Mo' it was terrorism
