The Toledo Police Department said the shooting happened near the Old West End Festival, an annual gathering of live music and home tours in a historic district of the city.

Authorities did not immediately say how many people were shot, the extent of the injuries or what may have set off the shooting. The department said an active search was underway for those responsible.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

Berry, who has medical training and served in the U.S. Navy, said he walked around the area looking for potential victims who might need help.<\/p>\n

He said he 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
