CINCINNATI — One person was wounded after as many as 50 shots were fired at a large party in a short-term rental in Corryville, Cincinnati police told WCPO's crew at the scene.

The shooting happened in the 3000 block of Vine Street in Corryville around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, police said.

Police said one person was shot in the shoulder and drove themselves to the hospital; the injury was not life-threatening, police said.

WATCH: What we know about the shooting

1 wounded, as many as 50 shots fired at short-term rental, police say

Officers at the scene told our crew most of the shots were fired from out in the street, but some shots were fired from inside the house, which was operating as a short-term rental.

Police said one person was arrested for charges related to weapons, but it's unclear whether that person was involved in the shooting in any way.

Our crew at the scene saw at least 20 to 30 people outside the house as police investigated.

Similar situations have happened in the Cincinnati area recently. In early May, police said shots were fired at a "large gathering" at a short-term rental on Granada Court in Liberty Township.

And just two weeks ago in Anderson Township, police said a party at a short-term rental was shut down after several shots were fired.

Cincinnati City Council member Mark Jeffreys said city leaders should consider consequences, like permit suspensions, for negligent owners.

"Under no world is it ever acceptable to shoot off 50 rounds in the middle of the city," Jeffreys said. "Most Airbnb owners are very responsible, and I think for people who are responsible we should allow them to continue to enable short-term rental as long as they are following the rules. The question is what are the rules?"
