In the second major mass shooting in less than 24 hours in the United States, officials say a gunman killed nine people and injured 26 early Sunday in Dayton, Ohio.
The shooter was killed by police officers.
"As a mayor this is a day that we all dread happening," Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley told reporters Sunday morning.
Twenty-six people are in multiple hospitals across the city, some with life-threatening injuries, she said.
Police were already on patrol in the area full of nightclubs known as the Oregon District and stopped the shooter.
