A Dayton police sergeant on scene told News Center 7 that a woman had a gunshot wound to her leg.
She was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
News Center 7’s Taylor Robertson saw several people at the park, many celebrating the Memorial Day holiday.
When she arrived on scene, she saw kids playing in the splashpad and people grilling just feet away from the scene.
News Center 7 obtained the 911 call that brought officers to the park.
“Gunshots was just fired, I believe someone is shot, lying in a dress,” the caller told dispatchers.
“Did you see this happen or just hear it?” a dispatcher replied.
“It was a fight that broke out earlier, like an hour ago and they said it was between a girl and a boy,” the caller said.
The caller added that the woman’s face was bleeding and she was sitting in the grass by picnic tables.
“I’m too scared to get any closer,” the caller said.
She told police she didn’t see who fired the gun.
Police said they are still working to learn what led to the shooting due to conflicting stories.
Steve Osborne told News Center 7 that he heard about four gunshots, but investigators only found one shell casing.
“I get put in the back of a cruiser, they think I’m a suspect, you feel me? But they let me go,” Osborne said.
Police detained several people trying to figure out what happened.
Osborne said he told police he didn’t see anyone get shot.
“They was like, ‘Did you see who got shot? Did you see that? Did you see who took the gun?’ Nah, I didn’t see nothing, I don’t know nothing, you feel me,” Osborne said. “They searched me. I ain’t got, I ain’t got no guns on me now. I ain’t got nothing. I’m just trying to have a good Memorial Day weekend.”
The sergeant said no one was arrested on scene.
