Police say that an injured woman claiming to have lost a child during a mass shooting in Ohio earlier this month did not lose a child, and that she wasn’t even pregnant.
Family members alleged that the woman’s unborn child was killed. Police, however, said on Monday that this information isn’t true.
Local and national media reports say the shooting took place during a “gender reveal” party.
“The purpose of the party was to disclose the gender of Cheyanne Willis’ unborn child,” a police report on the shooting said.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reported that Chief Mark Denney says that police do not have an explanation about why the a woman claimed to be pregnant.
“All we have at this point is speculation,” he said.
WLWT, citing police, reported that false information surrounding the mass shooting in Colerain Township, which left eight people injured and a woman dead, has hindered an investigation.
