At Least 4 Hospitalized in 3 Separate Shootings in Dayton


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – At least four people are hospitalized after multiple shootings in Dayton, US state of Ohio, in a span of eight hours starting Wednesday afternoon.

The first shooting happened at around 5:25 p.m. late Wednesday afternoon at the 2000 block of East Fifth Street.

Officers and medics responded to reports of a woman shot in the face, according to Montgomery County Regional Dispatch.

A 911 call obtained by News Center 7 through a public records request details the moment a man found the woman had been shot.

“I got a girl that’s been shot down here at Irwin and Pruden... she said she’s been shot... it’s bad,” the caller told dispatchers.

The caller said the woman was conscious but incoherent.

“She’s up, but she’s hurt,” he told dispatchers.

“Just hold on, help is on the way. You’re going to be all right,” the caller tells the woman in the background.

Medics transported her to Miami Valley Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to Lt. Jeffrey Thomas with the Dayton Police Department.
