2. Three hospitals in and around Cincinnati have requested that emergency medical services divert patients to other locations. This has taken place over the last 48 hours, in response to a sharp increase in flu hospitalizations. Hospital officials worry that further patients could prove catastrophic for the overall system. Bon Secours Mercy Health's Jewish Hospital, UC Health's University of Cincinnati Medical Center, and West Chester Hospital have all reported being at capacity. (The Cincinnati Enquirer)
3. A man who was shot in North College Hill on Saturday night has died, according to officials. 32-year-old Maurice Searcy was found lying on his side with no pulse near Sundale and Savannah.
