Fifteen people were shot, one fatally, at a nightclub in Cincinnati, Ohio, early yesterday, and police said they believed at least two shooters may have been involved.

The shooting took place around 1 a.m. when hundreds of people were reported at the Cameo Nightlife club, which the Cincinnati Police Department said has had “multiple problems” in the past.

“At this point it’s unclear exactly what instigated the shooting,” Captain Kimberly Williams said at a televised briefing. “We believe that there were at least a couple of shooters involved.”

“Just a lot of chaos when the shots went off,” Williams added. The suspects were at large and police do not have good descriptions of them, in part because witnesses were reluctant to cooperate, Williams told WCPO.
