Sources told the Dayton Daily News at least 10 people had been killed in the attack after a man who was refused entry to Ned Peppers drew a gun and started shooting.
The local news outlet quoted a public Facebook post from a man named James Williams, who said: “Sad people are not right. I’m safe. Happened right in front of the patio where I was sitting in front of Neds. The guy in front of Ned Peppers’ door is the active shooter.
“He tried to go into the bar but did not make it through the door. Someone took the gun from him and he got shot and is dead.
“There are at least eight people dead right by the picnic table where I was on the street. A bunch of people taken to the hospital. I don’t know how any… this place is a disaster.”
It comes just hours after at least 20 people were shot dead in a Walmart in El Paso, Texas.
