CINCINNATI — One person is in the hospital after a shooting in Avondale, Cincinnati police said.
Officers responded to the 3500 block of Reading Road near the Avondale Towne Center for the report of a shooting around 12:30 p.m. Thursday.
When they arrived, they found one person suffering from a gunshot wound. Investigators said he was rushed to the hospital and is in critical condition.
Police said an off-duty officer was driving nearby, on Reading Road, when he heard the gunshots.
"He observed an individual with a firearm, which is behind us by the Fifth Third ATM," said Cincinnati Police Lieutenant Tim Lanter. "He, being in an unmarked vehicle, followed."
Lanter said the off-duty officer saw multiple suspects get into a white Volvo a block from the shooting; that off-duty officer then contacted officers who were on duty and gave them the information.
When police tracked down the Volvo, they said they found four people inside, who were all taken into custody to be questioned.
The intersection of Reading Road and Rockdale Avenue was blocked off with crime scene tape while police investigated.
