Hello, everybody. It's me, Carla Varner, your host of the Cincinnati Daily — here to tell you everything you need to know about what's happening in town. Let's have at it.
First, today's weather:
Hot with plenty of sunshine. High: 93 Low: 70.
Here are the top three stories in Cincinnati today:
- The Cincinnati Police Department is searching for the source of shots that were fired on Monday night in Over-the-Rhine's Ziegler Park. According to police, over 30 shots were fired and the shooters are still at large. The department shared video footage that shows a single shooter on Woodward Street around 9:00 p.m. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported. (WCPO 9 Cincinnati)
- The city of Cincinnati has voted to repeal an ordinance that restricts the city's ability to cover elective abortions. The repeal of the 2001 ordinance will allow the administration to update the city's health plan to include abortion-related services. Anti-abortion activists were present with signs and were reported as being mostly silent and respectful. (WLWT Cincinnati)
