CINCINNATI — A large police presence and SWAT unit have cleared a Sedamsville apartment complex after they responded to a shots fired call, Cincinnati police said.

Police responded to Eatondale Apartments, located at Fairbanks and Delhi avenues, just before 3:30 p.m. Police said they were told seven to 10 shots were fired in front of and behind the building, and police also heard additional gunshots.

No one was injured, police said.

A WCPO 9 crew said at one point they saw guns drawn at a specific unit in the complex. Officers were then seen escorting three children out of the complex.

Police said they were told two suspects were inside, and a man in his 20s was taken into custody.

It took time to access the unit the other suspect was in, but police said he was already gone when they did. Police only have a general description of that suspect.

Police said they found shell casings outside.

The police response closed down all lanes of traffic on Fairbanks Avenue for roughly two hours.
