The shooter has been identified by authorities as Connor Betts, a 24-year-old white male who lived in Dayton. He is believed to have acted alone. Betts was killed by responding officers within minutes of the first shots being fired, police said.

 

One of the victims has been identified by authorities as Betts’ sister, 22-year-old Megan Betts.

The incident came about 13 after an attack in a Walmart and mall in El Paso, Texas, left 20 people dead and 26 injured.

Dayton police Lt. Col. Matt Carper told reporters several officers happened to be near the bar at the time of the shooting, which allowed them to confront the shooter in less than a minute after the first shots were fired.

“For that, we are very fortunate,” Carper said.

President Donald Trump said that the FBI, local and state law enforcement were working together in El Paso and Dayton.

“Information is rapidly being accumulated in Dayton,” Trump tweeted.

“Law enforcement was very rapid in both instances,” he added.
