CLEVELAND — Nine people were shot early Sunday in Cleveland's historic Warehouse District when a gunman opened fire as bars and nightclubs were closing and police officers were nearby patrolling the bustling entertainment area, according to the Cleveland Police Department.
Police officers were on weekend patrol in the Warehouse District when they heard gunshots erupt at 2:25 a.m. They discovered multiple victims at the corner of West 6th Street and Johnson Court suffering from gunshot wounds and in need of medical aid, police said.
Cmdr. Richard Tucker of the Cleveland Police Department said the gunman opened fire 50 to 75 feet away from the crowd he targeted before fleeing the scene. "Investigators are in the process of reviewing evidence and video, as well as interviewing victims at MetroHealth Medical Center," according to the police statement.
"We have no information, at least right now, from our investigators that there was any type of issues or concerns, or trouble taking place ... before this individual started shooting," Drummond said.
