US: Active shooter in downtown Cincinnati

Police in the US city of Cincinnati say they’ve responded to an active shooter situation at building downtown.

The police department in a Tweet described it as an “active shooter/officer involved shooting incident”.

A police officer at the scene told The Associated Press there are at least two, possibly more, people who have been shot.

It wasn’t clear immediately if the shooter was one of them.

Streets around the Fifth Third Bank at the city’s Fountain Square were closed Thursday morning and the area cordoned off.
