SHARONVILLE, Ohio — A person suspected of firing shots at the Red Roof Inn in Sharonville fled the hotel and led police on a highway chase that ended when the driver headed onto Ronald Reagan going the wrong way, according to police.
Sharonville police said someone called 911 at around 3:05 a.m. Monday morning. The caller said people were in his room trying to rob him.
On the open line, police said screaming and the sound of shots being fired were heard.
A man staying on the same floor said he heard everything as it happened.
"Then they ran down the fire escape area, shot again up towards the room," said the man who asked to stay anonymous. "They got down to the bottom floor in front of where like the cars are parked and again shot at the door they were coming out of."
The man said he's been at the hotel for some time, and it's not the first time someone has been robbed.
"Whoever these people were, they do come around a lot," he said.
Officers responded to the hotel but when they got there, the driver of a gray 2023 Jeep Gladiator was fleeing a location nearby. Police chased the driver south on I-75, but terminated the pursuit when the driver entered Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway heading in the wrong direction, according to Sharonville police.
At the Red Roof Inn, police said they found evidence gunshots were fired, though no one was injured. At the hotel, multiple windows to hotel rooms were shattered.
Police said they are still investigating the incident; they did not release any more specific information about a suspect.
