Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley said the gunman in the mass shooting in the city’s Oregon District was wearing body armor and used a “.223 high-capacity” firearm during the shooting spree that left ten dead and 26 wounded.
“In less than one minute, Dayton first responders neutralized the shooter,” Whaley said during a Sunday morning press conference at the Dayton Convention Center, where authorities have set up a family assistance center. She added that if the police had not responded so quickly, “hundreds of people in the Oregon District could be dead today.”
