At least nine people have been killed and 26 wounded in a mass shooting in Dayton, in the US state of Ohio, according to police.

The incident in the early hours of Sunday came just hours after a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, killed at least 20 people and wounded 26 others.

Police in Dayton killed the gunman, who was wearing body armour, less than a minute after he began firing on a busy street in the city's Oregon District, a central neighbourhood known for its nightlife. His motive was not immediately known and his identity has not been released.

Matt Carper, the assistant chief of the Dayton police department, described the shooter's weapon as "a long gun with multiple rounds". He said the location was "a very safe part of downtown".

"The shooter is deceased from gunshot wounds from the responding officers," Carper said. "We have nine victims deceased ... We have approximately 16 more victims hospitalised right now in unknown conditions."

"Fortunately, we had multiple officers in the immediate vicinity when this started," he added, "so there was a very short timeline of violence."

Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley said the shooter fired a .223-calibre high capacity magazine and was carrying additional magazines. That calibre is typically used with assault weapons, although the specific type of gun the shooter used was not immediately released.

"If Dayton police had not gotten to the shooter in under a minute ... hundreds of people in the Oregon District could be dead today," she said.

Authorities said the FBI was assisting in the investigation.

The 26 victims were being treated in local hospitals. Their conditions were not immediately released.

Nikita Papillon, 23, said she was at a bar across from where the shooting occurred, telling The Associated Press news agency that she saw bodies on the ground after running outside.

Tianycia Leonard, 28, who was at the same bar as Papillon, said she heard "loud thumps" she initially thought were people pounding on a waste container.

She soon realised "it was gunshots and there was a lot of rounds," according to AP.

Whaley, the mayor, told reporters she received text messages throughout the day from officials of other cities where mass shootings had occurred.

"As a mayor, this is a day that we all dread happening," she said.

The shooting is the 22nd mass shooting in the United States in 2019.

Ohio's Governor Mike DeWine tweeted he had ordered flags in the state to remain at half-mast to honour the victims.

"[My wife] and I are absolutely heartbroken over the horrible attack that occurred this morning in Dayton," he tweeted.

What is going on?

Leftists have created a high pressure cooker atmosphere of madness, illogic. CHAOS and CONFUSION designed to drive the nation insane.

As a result, the nation is exhibiting signs of the Leftist insanity.

Read Orwell's "1984".

It's all in there.

Also, watch Hitchcock's "Gaslight".

Basically, the same thing.


Where did the Leftists learn these techniques?


From their Crazy Mothers.

Imagine the cops didn't shoot this asshole within a minute, the number of casualties would be sky high.

Merica', ehh? Turning to shit

The Oregon District is literally 30 seconds from my work. This shit is getting out of hand. 9 dead and over 15 injured. A man from Bellbrook, Connor Betts, aged 24, with body armor opened fire with an assault rifle on people just trying to have a good time. Luckily the area has a strong police presence as the pussy was shot and killed within 60 seconds. The district is a strip of bars, restaurants and shops. What a time to be alive.

Update: Apparently he killed his sister and her boyfriend.

Yeah, America is real shit. Don't come here. I mean, looking at all the other continents, you should stay away from America because its unsafe...

South America? Yeah, they're doing great, as usual.
Central America? Oh yeah, wonderful.
Africa? The best.
Europe? Just as shit as America.
Asia? China, India, Philippines; all good. I hear the Middle East is cool too.
Australia? They banned guns too! Super safe.

Just wow. Not even 24 hours after the El Paso shooting. It is so sad and so many people are still so willing to live this way.
