At least 12 people shot at an Ohio festival and a search for suspects is still ongoing, police say
Police say at least 12 people were wounded, including two in critical condition, as investigators review video and seek suspects.
- On Saturday, June 6, 2026, gunfire erupted near Toledo's Old West End Festival, wounding at least 12 people, two critically. Police are searching for at least two shooters who were "probably shooting at each other."
- Considered the "kick-off to Toledo's summer festival season," the annual celebration was suddenly disrupted as hundreds of attendees scrambled for cover while on-site police officers immediately responded to the chaotic scene.
- Victims range in age from 14 to 61 years old, with most in their early twenties. Navy veteran Kevin Berry saw at least five people with gunshot wounds and provided aid before emergency crews transported them to hospitals.
- Ohio Governor Mike DeWine said he was "deeply concerned" by the incident, emphasizing that "summer festivals should be safe spaces." Organizers canceled the remainder of the two-day event, citing that continuing would not be responsible.
- Toledo Public Safety Director George Kral is urging the public to share cellphone videos and photos to assist investigators. Police continue processing evidence as they work to determine the shooting's circumstances.
