CINCINNATI — A person is in "stable condition" after a shooting Tuesday afternoon in Over-the-Rhine, the Cincinnati Police Department said.
Police said officers responded to the area of E. McMicken Avenue and Walnut Street around 2:15 p.m. for a report of a shooting.
When they arrived, they found a person with a gunshot wound. The victim was transported to the hospital with injuries that are "believed to be non-life-threatening," police said. They are now in stable condition.
Police said the suspect in the shooting is believed to be a man with a thin build, dark clothing and in the age range of the late teens to early twenties.
The shooting is believed to be an isolated incident, and there is no further danger to the community, police said.
A representative with Rothenberg Preparatory Academy told WCPO 9 that it was on a 10-minute "lock-in" during the investigation, but it was dismissed at the normal time around 2 p.m.

Hamilton County court documents show 27-year-old Demarco Bates was taken into custody Tuesday for firing multiple rounds in the same area of East McMicken Avenue. Our crew saw Bates being taken into custody by police at the scene Tuesday afternoon.
Court documents do not show that Bates has been charged with injuring anyone. He has been charged with tampering with evidence, discharge of a firearm on or near prohibited premises and criminal damaging. Cincinnati police have not confirmed Bates' connection to the shooting.
