Twenty-seven were injured and most have been released. We are continuing to check with local hospitals on the conditions of those remaining hospitalized.

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT SHOOTING SUSPECT

Police have identified Betts as the suspected shooter.

Betts was once kicked out of Bellbrook High School for making a list of girls he wanted to kill, the Dayton Daily News learned in interviews with former classmates and school administrators.

According to sources interviewed by this organization, the shooter was suspended in high school for causing a lockdown by writing a hit list on a bathroom wall.

“I would not dispute that information, but I don’t want to get involved any more than just making that comment,” Chris Baker, the former Bellbrook High School principal who resigned this summer.

Betts arrived at the Oregon District with his sister and another person on Saturday night, authorities said.

WHAT INVESTIGATORS ARE SAYING

Investigators said it is too early to speculate on a motive.

The individual who accompanied the Betts siblings to the Oregon District was injured but survived and had initial conversations with police, said Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl.

Biehl said that if Betts would have entered Ned Peppers, there would have been “catastrophic” casualties.

The officers involved in the incident were identified as Sgt. William C. Knight, a 22-year Dayton police veteran; and officers Jeremy Campbell, a two-year veteran and three-year veterans Vincent Carter, Ryan Nabel and David Denlinger.

They are on administrative leave following the incident as the investigation continues, which is a standard procedure following such incidents.

Local and state leaders have praised these first responders for saving lives.
