CINCINNATI — Multiple people have been shot – at least one fatally – in what police called an active shooter situation downtown Cincinnati.
Police said they are actively investigating reports of a shooter at Fifth Third Bank at 511 Walnut St. in the lobby and loading dock.
It's near Fountain Square, which has been closed to foot traffic at this time.
An officer at the scene said there are at least two, and possibly more, people who've been shot. It wasn't immediately clear if the shooter was one of them.
