Overview
- Gunfire broke out just after 5:37 p.m. on Saturday near the intersection of Delaware and Glenwood avenues as the Old West End Festival was under way and hundreds of people were in the area.
- Police say at least 12 people were wounded, including two in critical condition, with victims ranging in age from 14 to 61 and most expected to survive.
- Investigators told reporters they believe at least two people fired weapons, probably at each other, and no suspects were in custody as officers processed multiple scenes around Delaware and Robinwood avenues.
- Festival organizers canceled remaining events and city officials urged residents to avoid the area while police collect surveillance and cellphone footage and ask the public to submit any video or photos.
- The shooting highlights growing concern about safety at large public gatherings and could lead to increased security, more video evidence use in investigations, and community pressure for steps to protect festivalgoers.
