“At least nine people suffered gunshot wounds in a mass shooting in Cleveland early Sunday morning, according to police.
“‘Preliminary information indicates that a suspect opened fire toward a group of people and then fled the scene,’ Jennifer Ciaccia, a spokesperson for the Cleveland Division of Police said.
“Officers were already in the area working a weekly detail when they responded around 2:30 a.m. to West 6th Street and Johnson Court for a report of multiple people shot, the statement said. Police “arrived quickly” and provided medical aid on the scene.
