A person was shot Wednesday night in Cincinnati's Walnut Hills neighborhood and rushed to the hospital, according to police. District Two officers responded to a report of a shooting at about 9:45 p.m. near the 400 block of East McMillan Street, where they found a victim suffering from a gunshot wound.
The victim was taken to the hospital following the shooting, as reported by Local 12. Their condition was unknown at the time of the report, according to FOX19. WCPO 9 Cincinnati similarly reported that the victim sustained a gunshot wound and was transported to the hospital, according to police.
No Suspect Information Released
No suspect information was available at the time of the report, per the same Local 12 account. Investigators have not released a description, motive, or any details about how many people may have been involved in the shooting.
Despite the lack of suspect details, police believed the shooting was an isolated incident, and said it posed no threat to the general public. The investigation remains ongoing, the station notes, with no further updates provided as of Wednesday night.
Not the First Shooting Near This Intersection
This is not the first time gunfire has struck this stretch of Walnut Hills. In October 2024, a separate shooting occurred around midnight at the nearby intersection of McMillan Street and Gilbert Avenue, according to Local 12's earlier coverage. In that incident, a young male was struck multiple times and suffered life-threatening injuries. It remained unclear at the time whether police had identified a suspect in that earlier case.
Police have not indicated any connection between Wednesday's shooting and the 2024 incident. Anyone with information about Wednesday's shooting is encouraged to contact Cincinnati police as the investigation continues.
