Police still had no suspects in custody Sunday after a weekend shooting near an Ohio street festival wounded 12 people and sent attendees scrambling for cover in a busy Toledo neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Toledo Deputy Police Chief Joe Heffernan said it appeared that at least two people fired weapons on Saturday near the Old West End Festival and were \u201cprobably shooting at each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Multiple videos posted to social media showed people running amid the sound of gunshots and emergency officials tending to others who appeared wounded. <\/p>\n

As the search for the shooters wore on, Lucas County Prosecutor Julia Bates vowed \u201cjustice will be swift and strong.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who were frightened, traumatized or harmed by this violence will remain at the forefront of our efforts. I\u2019ve felt outrage before, but this is personal,\u201d Bates said in a statement. \u201cThis is my home. These are my friends and neighbors. It is not OK.\u201d<\/p>\n

Authorities say a search for the shooters was ongoing and had not identified any potential suspects. They urged festivalgoers to come forward with any photos or videos.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as violence, this is over the top, right?\u201d Toledo police Lt. Dan Gerken said. \u201cTwelve people being shot, that\u2019s the most I\u2019ve been to a scene. I\u2019ve been to a lot of scenes, but this is way over the top.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Hundreds of people were at the festival, an annual two-day celebration in Toledo\u2019s historic district that includes live music, food vendors, home tours and shopping. <\/p>\n

The remainder of the festival was canceled Sunday. Organizers said \u201cit would not be compassionate, responsible or possible to continue.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are heartbroken about those that were injured at the Old West End Festival,\u201d the festival said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Two of the victims were in critical condition on Saturday, Heffernan said. The ages of the victims ranged from 14 to 61, with most of them in their early 20s.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Fire Chief Allison Armstrong said it was difficult for emergency responders to get the injured to the hospital due to closed roads and traffic from people leaving the festival, but all were transported within an hour.<\/p>\n

Kevin Berry was sitting in the neighborhood arboretum listening to live music with friends when he heard gunshots ring out.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody hit the deck,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

When Berry looked back up, he saw a gun being tossed to the ground less than 50 feet (15 meters) away from him. Officers who were already on site for the festival responded immediately.<\/p>\n

Berry, who has medical training and served in the Navy, walked around looking for anyone who might need help and saw at least five people with gunshot wounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe folks who were hit were spread out around the arboretum area,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

George Kral, the city\u2019s safety director, said the Old West End Festival is one of the most iconic festivals in Toledo.<\/p>\n
