Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot Isaac, center, held a press conference Thursday morning offering an update on the shooting 

A neighbor told the station WLWT the person in questioned had moved into the building just a day or two ago.  

According to the chief, the incident began unfolding at 9.10am when a 911 call came in reporting shots fired at the bank. 

Isaac said the shooter entered the loading dock at the building and opened fire, then proceeded to the lobby of Fifth Third Bank, where several police officers engaged the suspect, killing him. 

The chief said he could not confirm local media reports that the gunman was a disgruntled employee of the bank, and said he had no information that the victims were targeted. 

Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley said the gunman was 'actively shooting innocent victims' and that it was a 'horrific' scene.

He noted the building on the city’s Fountain Square houses popular ice cream, sandwich and pastry shops.

He says it 'could have been much, much worse' if not for the immediate police response to end the threat. 

'This is not normal, and it shouldn't be viewed as normal,' the mayor told reporters, adding that the United States is the only industrialized nation with frequent active shooting incidents. 'We as a country have to deal with it,' Cranley added. 

A gun was recovered from the scene, but police shared no details about it. 

Cincinnati Enquirer reported, citing police, that one victim was found at the intersection of 5th and Walnut Street, while another was located inside Graeter's Ice cream shop near the busy Fountain Square. 

A witness told the paper he saw a woman walking into Fifth Third Bank with her headphones on and getting shot by the gunman.

Other bystanders later reported seeing a woman being carried out of the building drenched in blood and laid down on a slab of concrete by police officers.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
