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.
