Ned Peppers, the Dayton bar near where the shooting occurred, posted a statementSunday on Facebook.
"[T]he shooter started down the road and made his way towards our business. We have police regularly staffed next to our business who engaged the shooter and neutralized the threat.
"Dayton Police could not have done a better job responding to this senseless act of violence. We cannot commend them high enough," they wrote.

Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley said earlier that none of the shooting occurred inside the bar, all the shootings occurred outside.

Here is the full statement from Ned Peppers:
First and foremost our thoughts are with the victims of this tragedy. We are shaken and confused as to why this occurred in our safe entertainment district located in downtown Dayton. We are following along with you of the news coverage from WHIO, the shooter started down the road and made his way towards our business. We have police regularly staffed next to our business who engaged the shooter and neutralized the threat. Dayton Police could not have done a better job responding to this senseless act of violence. We cannot commend them high enough. We are assisting them still in every way we can in their investigation. Clothing items left here have been placed in the rear of our building although the area is still closed until further notice. We do not know at this time when the area or our business will open.

Strange country where any person can literally walk into a gun store and buy an assault rifle for "self-defence".

Directionless young with weapons is a dangerous combination in any society.

Problem is something else. Not gun culture.

If gun culture was the cause, Switzerland would've seen similar incidents on a regular basis.

Social injustice, bullying, racial discrimination and hate taught by the society, Church and parents.

What is FBI, CIA, or any intelligence agency responsible doing to protect people?

I was in a local Walmart store of my town thousands of miles away from El Paso, when I heard disturbing news of a shooting in a Walmart store in El paso. And now this...how are security authorities failing to stop such attacks before they occur?

Yes but take out guns and this incidents would be far far less.

Dude...

This is a country where anyone can get hold of an assault rifle on demand.

Unless they have some kind of mind-reading system in place all over the country, these incidents cannot be prevented.

Correct.
But taking away guns from people is easier said than done.

Done in New Zealand after the mosque attacks.

Where there is real will, there is a way.

It seems like guns are sold like "grocery items" in the US.

They don't have to ban guns but they can impose gun free areas. All shopping districts can be declared gun free with gun scanners in place at entrances to the areas.

Afaik, guns rights don't apply on private property. Private property business owners/management decides the policies to allow or ban any item.

I believe as long as you are on the city property i.e. side walk, road, etc you can have your gun rights but I'm sure private property owners will call police if someone is spotted with a gun in their property.

Can't say about Ohio, but El Paso shooting was Racially motivated , When i say White Nationalist/Neo Nazis will become the biggest Global threat, people don't believe me and call me Anti American ..

It has been going on since a long time ..mate.. even in my school once there an alert. But the school management was really wise and it somehow controlled the situation. I would say it has to do with culture, food and lifestyle. Parents neglect their children and let them do whatever they want. Binge watching TV and becoming couch potatoes, eating chips & popcorns and pizzas and other junk foods are just dead calories and devoid of vitamins. It makes them fat and emotionally unstable. Nutrients especially minerals play an important role in mood and emotional balance.
