UPDATE @ 3:54 a.m.:
Liz Long, Kettering Health Network spokeswoman, said the hospital has received victims from the shooting, but they have no information on numbers or patient conditions yet, as their focus is on treating the patients.
UPDATE @ 2:59 a.m.:
Sources are telling us there are at least 10 people dead and an unknown number of wounded. Were working to confirm some eyewitness accounts that a person who was denied entry into the bar opened fire.
In a public Facebook post from a person named James Williams: Sad people are not right. Im 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 dont know how any... this place is a disaster.
UPDATE @ 2:24 a.m.:
Unconfirmed reports via police and fire scanners are indicating there may be as many as seven dead and an unknown number of victims wounded in a shooting at or near Ned Peppers Bar, in the 400 block of East Fifth Street.
Those scanner reports, also unconfirmed, are indicating that police are searching for a possible second shooter who may have left the area.

Folks, they are MURDERERS, not shooters. They KILL WITH GUNS; calling it shooting is dishonest. .nt
