Audrey Gavitt- Cincinnati nightclub shooting

Summary- They came for a night of music and dancing. They left by fleeing past wounded clubgoers lying on a bloody floor. Shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday at the packed Cameo Night Club in Cincinnati, a DJ called for security over and over, one man recalled later. Four off-duty police officers were outside in the parking lot. Police officers investigate the crime scene at a Cincinnati nightclub. To get in, clubgoers had been searched for hidden weapons. Still, the witness told CNN affiliate WLWT that he heard about 20 gunshots in the club. One person was killed and 15 wounded. Police said several people had been able to sneak guns into the club and they believe more than one person was involved in the shooting. They said it might have developed from a dispute that started earlier in the day. The shooting was not related to terrorism, authorities said. Police identified the slain man as O'Bryan Spikes, 27. Several victims were undergoing surgery, Cincinnati Police Sgt. Eric Franz told CNN Sunday morning. Police do not have any suspects in custody but are interviewing witnesses.

Analysis- This was published by CNN on March 26 and written by Jay Croft, Shawn Nottingham and Joe Sutton. This event reminded me of the Orlando shooting in June 2016. Although the event at the pulse night club in Orlando was much more of a tragic event then this one they are still similar. The fact that things like this continue to happen is horrible and something needs to be done to stop it.
