Cincinnati Man Shoots At 1-Year-Old Boy, Is Shot By A Civilian With A Gun

 

A 62-year-old man with a gun in each hand fired at 4 people, including a 1-year-old boy, before a civilian with a concealed carry permit returned fire and wounded the shooter.

The shooter, Thomas McCary is being held without bond on 4 counts of felonious assault.
McCary was arguing with a woman around 8 p.m. Sunday night and, when the woman’s brother, Patrick Ewing, approached, McCary pulled out a .38-caliber handgun and fired 3 shots at him, Cincinnati police said.

Fortunately, Ewing didn’t get hit, but he did get his own gun and returned fire, wounding McCary in the leg. Ewing had a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

Injured, McCary went into his house to get a second gun and, holding a weapon in each hand, he fired 3 more shots in the direction of the woman, Jeaneta Walker, her 1-year-old son and a 3rd man.

Ewing fired at McCary again to try to distract him as the victims fled indoors.

McCary squeezed off a few more rounds, hitting no one, before withdrawing into his apartment.
McCary was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was arrested at 2:30 a.m.

He was treated, released and booked into the Hamilton County Jail by 3:42 a.m. McCary is scheduled to face a judge.
