Toledo Police, Authorities Seeking Suspects in Festival Shooting that Injured 12

A manhunt is underway in Ohio after suspected multiple shooters shot 12 people at a festival in Toledo.

Police said that they are searching for multiple suspects, authorities said.

The Toledo Police Department said officers responded around 5:37 p.m. to a report of a shooting near Delaware Avenue and Glenwood Avenue, close to the Old West End Festival.

Upon arrival, officers discovered multiple victims suffering from gunshot wounds, police said.

Two of the wounded were in serious condition, according to officials.

They said that no suspects were in custody, and believe that they were shooting at each other when festival goers were caught in the crossfire.

Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz urged residents to remain united in the aftermath of the shooting, while he praised first responders for their response to the incident.

"Toledo has faced more adversity over the years than most cities, and our citizens always rally together and pull through," he said in post on Facebook. "This will be no exception."

"What happened today at the @OldWestEnd Festival, sadly, has happened in too many American cities," he continued. "But we should never shrug our shoulders and accept it as the price of living in a free society. As a country, we must do better. Toledo is resilient & it will emerge stronger because of the unity we show in this moment — and because of the brave men & women of @Toledo_PD & @ToledoFire, whose swift actions today saved lives."

Residents and visitors were urged to avoid the area as the investigation continues.
