“As officers were arriving on scene, they encountered multiple individuals running across Salem (Avenue),” said Dayton police Lt. Eric Sheldon. “At this point the officers activated their lights and sirens (and) as they came to a stop, they heard multiple gunshots in the area.”
As a result, additional crews were called to the scene.
As officers were conducting a sweep of the area they learned of a shooting at 2914 Salem Ave.
A 911 caller at B&B Lounge and Grill reported a man had been shot.
The caller said the man was shot once in his abdomen, according to dispatch records.
Medics transported the man to the hospital in life-threatening condition. As of Tuesday afternoon, he is expected to survive his injuries, Sheldon said.
The 911 caller did not know who the shooter was or where they went.
