At least 10 people are feared dead and 16 people sustained injuries in a shooting in Dayton here in the early hours of Sunday.
The suspected gunman in the incident is among those who were killed, the Dayton Police Department tweeted.
The incident took place in the district of Oregon.
"At 1:22 am active shooter situation began in the Oregon District. The shooter is deceased. There are 9 others also deceased. At least 16 others went to area hospitals with injuries," the police quoted one of its officials as saying.
