Three men were injured in a shooting at a shopping center near in Colerain Township on Tuesday afternoon, leading to a significant police presence.
Neighbors who live near the plaza reported hearing rounds of gunfire around 1 p.m. at the shopping center on Compton and Pippin Roads.
Police said the three men were rushed to UC Medical Center, but the extent of their injuries has not been disclosed.
A tow truck removed a Chevy Equinox from the scene.
More than two dozen evidence markers were visible in the parking lot in front of the Impressive Kuts barbershop, which is next to Pippin Market. A large bullet hole was also seen in the glass panel of another nearby shop.
Residents expressed their concerns about the shooting in such a crowded area.
“And it’s a shame in Colerain Township that a lot of this stuff goes on,” said Roy Kidd, a Colerain Township resident. “It’s pretty frightening. You know, it makes you wonder because you got kids running around the neighborhoods. And look, you’re in a market where all kinds of kids could be, you know, and you take the chance of hitting the kid, you know? And a lot of people just nowadays, they just don’t care. You know, it’s a shame.”
Police have not yet revealed what led to the shooting or whether they know who may have pulled the trigger. A neighbor said a K9 team was searching for a trail on the east side of Pippin Road.
