ce, this is over the top, right?  Toledo police Lt. Dan Gerken said Saturday.  Twelve people being shot, that's the most I've been to a scene. I've been to a lot of scenes, but this is way over the top. 

The remainder of the festival was canceled Sunday. Organizers said  it would not be compassionate, responsible or possible  to continue through the weekend.

 We are heartbroken about those that were injured at the Old West End Festival,  the festival said in a statement.

The victims ranged in age from 14 to 61, with most of them in their early 20s. Fire Chief Allison Armstrong said it was difficult for emergency responders to get the injured to the hospital due to closed roads and traffic leaving the festival, but all were transported within an hour.

Local perspective:

Kevin Berry was sitting in the neighborhood arboretum listening to live music with friends when he heard gunshots ring out.

 Everybody hit the deck,  he said.

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.

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.

George Kral, the city's safety director, said the Old West End Festival is one of the most iconic festivals in Toledo.

 And it's a shame that something like this had to ruin it,  Kral said.

Big picture view:

The Ohio shooting was one of at least two episodes of mass gun violence in the U.S. over the weekend.

In Kansas City, Missouri, nine adults were injured in a shooting early Saturday, police said. Officers dispatched to the area about 10 miles (16 kilometers) south of downtown found a large crowd dispersing. Police said none of the victims had life-threatening injuries and that no suspects were in custody.
