4 Dead, including Gunman, in Cincinnati Bank Shooting

by Associated Press

   CINCINNATI, OHIO --

   Police say four people are dead, including the gunman, in a downtown
   Cincinnati bank shooting.

   Police Chief Eliot Isaac said the shooter opened fire early Thursday
   morning at the loading dock of the Fifth Third Bank building.
   Isaac said the gunman then entered the bank's lobby where he exchanged
   gunfire with the shooter. It's unclear if the gunman shot himself or
   was shot by officers.
   One of the victims died at the scene.
   Mayor John Cranley said the gunman was "actively shooting innocent
   victims" and that it was a "horrific" scene.
