CINCINNATI (WLWT) — A terrifying moment near the University of Cincinnati’s campus was caught on video over the weekend.
It happened just before 3 a.m. Saturday, as people were out celebrating Halloween.
In the video, multiple gunshots could be heard ringing out on Short Vine Street, with dozens of people running.
Cincinnati police said nobody was hit by gunfire and witnesses told officers that someone fired several rounds into the air.
The investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
The shots fired near UC marked one incident during a violent weekend across Cincinnati, with six people shot at two separate scenes.
Police reported that two people were shot outside an event center at 69th and Vine around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, with one victim critically injured. Another person hit by a bullet managed to run to a nearby Speedway.
Just a half-hour earlier, at 1 a.m., another shooting occurred outside the Privy Club in Over-the-Rhine, about a block north of Findlay Market. Four people were shot, but all survived.
