Dayton mayor: 10 fatalities, 27 treated for injuries

Dayton mayor Nan Whaley has given an update on the details of the mass shooting overnight.

She said the suspect was wearing armour and used an “AK-like gun assault rifle” to target his victims – all were shot outside.

“In less than one minute Dayton first responders neutralised the shooter,” the mayor said.

The mayor confirmed the death toll, 10 including the shooter, remained the same. The victims were a “diverse” group of people, Ms Whaley added.

Hospitals have treated 27 people, 15 of whom have been discharged, she said.

A vigil for the victims and their families, she said, would be held at 20:00 local time (04:00 GMT) on Sunday at a yet to be announced location.
