The shooting comes a day after UC Police Chief Eliot Isaac issued a letter to students and families about multiple shootings and gun incidents that have occurred near campus since the start of fall semester.
Prior to Tuesday's shooting, multiple shots were fired early Sunday morning in the area of Calhoun and South Market streets.
The shots-fired incident occurred just a few days after two people were injured in two shootings near UC's campus. One of those shootings happened just hours before fall semester classes began.
UC said it is working with the Cincinnati Police Department to review the recent shootings, assess its strategy and make adjustments to keep the community safe.
This is a developing story, and WCPO will update when more information is available.
