Nine people in Ohio were killed in the second mass shooting in the U.S. in less than 24 hours, and the suspected shooter was killed by police, authorities said. Dayton police tweeted that an active shooter situation began at 1 a.m. Sunday in a historic district that's a popular nightlife destination, but officers nearby were able to "put an end to it quickly." Lt. Col. Matt Carper said at a press conference that the suspect was shot to death by responding officers. At least 27 others were injured, Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley said at a news conference.

In one of the articles on the El Paso & Dayton shootings - can't cite it because I can't remember where it was - it said Dayton was the 251st mass shooting of 2019, and this is only the 216th day of the year.
I did a little more reading, either in the same article or one in the margin: the definition of mass shooting is a shooting event where a minimum of 4 people, not including the shooter(s), are killed.
