The quiet of West Price Hill was pierced by gunshots yesterday evening as the Cincinnati Police Department responded to a shooting incident at the intersection of First Avenue and West Liberty Street. According to FOX19, the emergency call came shortly after 6:30 p.m., where officers discovered a male victim with gunshot wounds. The victim's age was not disclosed, and he was quickly rushed into surgery for potentially life-threatening injuries, as confirmed by a sergeant at the scene.
As the investigation unfolds, at least one individual has been taken into custody in connection with the shooting. However, the authorities have yet to release details regarding the suspect or the circumstances leading to the incident.
