On August 4, 2019, 24-year-old Connor Betts shot and killed nine people, including his brother,[a] and wounded 17 others near the entrance of the Ned Peppers Bar in the Oregon District of Dayton, Ohio.[3][5][6] Betts was fatally shot by responding police officers 32 seconds after the first shots were fired.[3][7] A total of 27 people were taken to area hospitals.[7] It is the deadliest mass shooting to occur in Ohio since the 1975 Easter Sunday Massacre.
A search of the shooter's home found evidence that showed an interest in violence and mass shootings and that he had expressed a desire to commit one. He considered himself a leftist and voiced his support for Antifa,[8] a preliminary assessment did not indicate that Betts had a racial or political motive.[9] The attack occurred just 13 hours after a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas.[10]
