One person dead following shooting incident in Ohio

OHIO — A 17-year-old boy was shot and killed early Tuesday morning inside a home in Cincinnati, according to police.

Officers responded to a ShotSpotter alert around 1:30 a.m. and arrived at the 3000 block of Percy Avenue, where they found the teen suffering from multiple gunshot wounds inside the residence.

Police said shell casings were found outside the home, suggesting the shots may have been fired from outside, with the bullets penetrating the house.

Investigators believe the shooter fired into the home and then fled the scene in a vehicle.

The teen was pronounced dead at the scene. His name has not yet been released.

The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is urged to contact Cincinnati Police.
