On August 4, 2019, 24-year-old Connor Betts shot and killed nine people, including his brother,^[a] and wounded 17 others near the entrance of the Ned Peppers Bar in the Oregon District of Dayton, Ohio.^[3]^[5]^[6] Betts was fatally shot by responding police officers 32 seconds after the first shots were fired.^[3]^[7] A total of 27 people were taken to area hospitals.^[7] It is the deadliest mass shooting to occur in Ohio since the 1975 Easter Sunday Massacre.

A search of the shooter's home found evidence that showed an interest in violence and mass shootings and that he had expressed a desire to commit one. He considered himself a leftist and voiced his support for Antifa,^[8] a preliminary assessment did not indicate that Betts had a racial or political motive.^[9] The attack occurred just 13 hours after a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas.^[10]
