MT. HEALTHY, Ohio — Up to 10 people were involved in a gunfight in Mt. Healthy early Saturday morning, police said, prompting multiple police agencies to respond.
Mt. Healthy police said fights broke out around 1 a.m. between "rival participants" of a female boxing match at the Heat Event Center inside the Hilltop Plaza, located at 8046 Hamilton Avenue. Police said shots were fired, causing a panic and a "crush of people" trying to exit through the only door in the building. The fights spilled over into the parking lot and "numerous shots were fired," police said.
Officers originally heard the gunshots while on routine patrol, Mt. Healthy police said, and when they arrived they saw an event security guard armed with a rifle in pursuit of someone who had fired "numerous" rounds.
Mt. Healthy police said they found a Glock 10mm pistol in the parking lot that "appeared to have been recently fired," and numerous spent shell casings, including 7.62 rifle casings, throughout the parking lot.
One officer reported that there were as many as 10 shooters involved.
Only one person was admitted to the hospital as a result of suffering a gunshot wound from the shootout. She was treated and released with minor injuries.
Mt. Healthy police said they did have one man in custody, but that all involved in the incident have been "uncooperative with the investigation."
Mt. Healthy police did say there have been several large fights at this location the past several months.
Anyone with any information should call the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office.
