A massive emergency response involving ambulances and police is underway in Ohio following a reported shooting with 'multiple' victims at an annual historic festival.

Police from Toledo and Lucas County, along with multiple medical units, responded to the Old West End Festival just after 5.30pm Saturday following reports of a person shot near Delaware Avenue and Glenwood Avenue, according to authorities.

Officers discovered multiple shooting victims upon arrival, many of whom have since been transported to nearby hospitals for treatment.

Witness Kevin Berry told the Daily Mail he personally observed at least five or six victims being struck by gunfire, including one graze wound and another shot to the head.

He described seeing an elderly woman fall to the ground, who he believed appeared to be experiencing heart attack symptoms during the commotion.

Other witnesses reported hearing 'multiple gunshots' before people began fleeing the area, according to local outlet WTOL 11 News.

Berry said he heard up to eight gunshots and saw a gun drop, but did not see the shooter, who he believed fled on foot.

'The Toledo Police Department is actively searching for the suspect or suspects involved,' authorities said in a news release.

Berry said the shooting appeared to come out of nowhere, with the first gunshots heard while the band was still playing. He also shared that it appeared to be entirely random, with no clear target or intent.

He said he ran around attempting to flag down officers for those who had been struck by gunfire, adding that police reached the scene 'quickly.'

Police have since closed Detroit Avenue near West Delaware Avenue.

The multi-agency response includes Toledo police, Lucas County Sheriff's deputies, Ohio State Highway Patrol and Toledo Fire and Rescue.

'The investigation currently includes scenes in the area of Delaware Avenue and Robinwood Avenue,' Toledo Police Department said.

'Residents and visitors are asked to avoid the area and expect a significant police presence as officers continue their search and investigators work to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident,' they added.

The incident comes as Toledo hosts its 53rd West End Festival, described as the 'biggest party of the year' celebrating 'one of the largest historic districts in the country.'

Live music, dozens of food vendors, a beer garden, house tours and shopping kicked off with the King Wamba Carnival Parade on Saturday morning, opening the two-day event.

Multiple people were wounded after shots rang out Saturday afternoon at the largest mall in South Carolina.

The Greenville Police Department told Fox News Digital two people were taken to the hospital after the incident unfolded around 1 p.m. local time at Haywood Mall in Greenville.

Multiple people are in custody, according to the department.

“The scene is active but contained,” a spokesperson said.

Officials said there is no danger to the public, but “it could be some time” before first responders can clear the area.

The Greenville City Fire Department and other law enforcement officers are assisting with evacuations.

The city’s public transit system, Greenlink, is providing a bus with air conditioning for evacuees to stay cool, and the mall will be closed for an undetermined amount of time, according to police.

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED), South Carolina Highway Patrol and Greenville County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to additional inquiries.
