CINCINNATI — At least two people were shot inside an Over-the-Rhine bar early Sunday morning, Cincinnati police said.

Police responded to Clutch OTR on the 1100 block of Vine Street at approximately 1:30 a.m. Sunday.

Police said two people were shot.

A 28-year-old man and a 33-year-old man were transported to UC Medical Center with gunshot wounds. Police did not say what their current condition is.

A WCPO 9 crew saw people who were at the bar at the time of the shooting come back there Sunday morning to retrieve their things. A woman, who asked to remain anonymous, told WCPO 9 that at least 10 shots were fired.

She said as the shots were fired the bar's crowd rushed toward the door to get out. She told WCPO 9 that the stampede to escape was "violent," and her and a friend had bruises from trying to leave during the shooting.

Police have not yet said if they have any suspects.

In November, a man was shot outside Clutch. That man suffered non-life threatening injuries, but the glass door and entryway of the bar were shattered in the shooting.

This is a developing story and will be updated once more information becomes available.
