Family members tell ABC affiliate WCPO that a “gender reveal” party was taking place at the residence at the time of the shooting.
Love told reporters there was one or two shooters.
“You’re hoping that there won’t be situations like this,” Love said. “These are the nights that you look back on and you regret that they ever happened. This will be one of those nights.”
There is no name nor description of the suspect, Love said, adding that a motive is unknown.
The wounded victims were transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Detectives are waiting to speak with them. The condition of the victims has not been released by police, but WCPO reports that the injured children do not have life-threatening injuries.
The investigation is ongoing.
WTH is a gender-reveal. You show me yours and I’ll show you mine? Sounds like this was sick to begin with.
A gender reveal party is a pre-baby shower. It is a party for friends, family, sometimes the expecting parents, that reveals the sex of the unborn baby (When they cut the cake, is it pink or blue…)
Thanks Angel, with all the transgender and other stuff going on, it did not sound good. I will withdraw my sick comment.
If you’ve never heard of it before, it does sound kinky. LOL
Don’t feel bad FD I was right there with ya
