A man was shot in the stomach on Friday afternoon in the Corryville neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, leaving him with non-life-threatening injuries. The incident occurred around 12:38 p.m. in the 2600 block of Short Vine Street, near the University of Cincinnati campus. According to the Cincinnati Police Department, a single shot was fired at the victim, who was subsequently transported to UC Medical Center for treatment. Police have confirmed that the suspect or suspects fled the scene immediately after the shooting. While UC Public Safety initially issued an alert advising students to shelter in place, an all-clear was issued shortly after at 1:10 p.m. once officers determined the area was secure. Authorities stated that the suspect remains at large but possess visual identification from nearby surveillance cameras. Investigators believe the shooting was an isolated incident and that there is no ongoing threat to the general public. The area between Corry Street and W. Carlton Street was blocked off for several hours while police conducted their investigation. This event follows a series of shootings and shots-fired incidents near the university since the start of the fall semester, which previously prompted the university to issue community letters and Cincinnati police to implement temporary road closures. The investigating agency is the Cincinnati Police Department. Individuals with information regarding the suspect's identity or location are encouraged to contact local authorities.
