11-year-old killed, more children among injured in Cincinnati shooting

An 11-year-old boy was killed and five others – including a child – were injured in a shooting in Cincinnati, according to police.

Police received reports of a shooting in the suburb’s West End shortly before 9:30 p.m. Friday, and found six people with varying degrees of injuries.

The 11-year-old boy was pronounced dead at the scene, Cincinnati police chief Terri Theetge said, according to local reports.

The ages and identities of the injured have not been released.

Three victims were taken to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, police said.

All three patients were in a critical condition when they arrived but one was discharged overnight, while the other two remain in hospital.

Two other victims were taken to University of Cincinnati Hospital and released Saturday.

There is no information on a suspect or what sparked the shooting, Theetge said.

“This is absolutely unacceptable in our city – it is unacceptable that on Friday night six people were shot in one incident,” Theetge said. “It is inhumane to pull out a firearm and recklessly shoot an individual.”

On Friday, Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval said to X, “Tonight, a terrible tragedy occurred in the West End. Children are shot. At least one life has been lost. Our friends and neighbors feel unimaginable fear, trauma, and anger.”
