As of Sunday evening, the police did not say whether they know what happened during the shooting or if there are any suspects. (WKRC TV Cincinnati)

The council voted unanimously to repeal the 2001 ordinance which restricted such services.

(The Cincinnati Herald)
  3. The University of Cincinnati Speech and Hearing Clinic is offering free audiology evaluations every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, year-round. The evaluations help train future audiologists who are working on doctorate-level degrees. (University of Cincinnati)
