Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley released a statment on Sunday that reads in part: "Let me be very clear, the responsibility for these shootings lies with the shooters—it is attempted or actual murder. We will bring the shooters to justice. I am also calling on everyone to help put an end this culture of resolving personal disputes with guns as well as to reduce the far too prevalent availability of illegal guns on our streets. "
