Cincinnati police arrest father of toddler shot because of 'negligence by gun owner'
Cincinnati police arrested the father of a toddler that was shot this weekend in what Chief Teresa Theetge called "negligence by a gun owner" to secure their firearm. Officers say Carmelo Anderson's 2-year-old child was shot with a handgun around noon May 31, according to a department news release. Officers responded to the 2500 block of Nottingham Road in the Villages at Roll Hill after a call was made about the shooting. When they arrived, they found Anderson's toddler with a gunshot wound. The child was taken to Cincinnati Children's Medical Center and is in stable condition, the news release says. Officers say Anderson, 21, gave the handgun that the toddler was shot with to someone and told them to "get rid of it," according to court documents. Following an investigation, officers arrested Anderson and charged him with tampering with evidence, court documents say. Chief Theetge said she is "outraged and heartbroken" about the shooting and called for citizens to safely secure their guns away from children. "Fellow Cincinnatians, I urge you to help spread the word: firearms must be secured, before another child pays the price," Theetge said in a statement June 2. "This is not just a call to action – it is a duty we all share. The time to act is now." Theetge and the City of Cincinnati have long been advocates in Ohio for efforts to curb gun violence, including tougher regulations on the safe storage of firearms to keep them away from children. A 2023 ordinance by the city to regulate gun storage, under the guise of a child endangerment law, was blocked by an Ohio state appeals court. State law bans most local gun regulations, the court said in 2024 ruling. The ordinance stated firearms should not be stored where "a child is able to gain access to the firearm," and that failing to do so creates a substantial risk to the health and safety of a child. It was written to allow charges to be filed even if no one is hurt in an incident. "Thank God this child is still alive," Theetge said of the May 31 shooting. "I've said it before, and I'll say it again: this cannot keep happening. We have a shared responsibility to protect our innocent, curious children."

Hating the police does not excuse celebrating Deputy Larry Henderson's death
Like many Cincinnatians, I am upset at the death of Hamilton County Sheriff's Deputy Larry Henderson. While I am happy that many are honoring the legacy of this fine servant of the people, some make me want to hang my head in Friday, May 9, I tuned in to watch one of the many livestreams that covered his funeral, as a family member was part of the department's Pipe and Drums Corp., who played at his service. However, upon opening the livestream, I was taken aback by the many hurtful, disgusting, and appalling comments in the livestream's chat. More: Moreno introduces Larry Henderson Act to toughen penalties for assaults on officers Phrases such as "One down, many more to go" and "Gang members take care of themselves" were among the many disparaging comments posted while the community was trying to honor a fallen civil servant, who died while trying to protect graduating students and parents alike as they made their way to the University of Cincinnati's commencement ceremony. I understand that in today's day and age, the police are not looked at with the same reverence and respect that they were 20-plus years ago when they were risking their lives to save people trapped in the collapsing towers of the World Trade Center on 9/11, but the audacity of some indivuduals to cheer and celebrate the death of a police officer is beyond any possible excuse of grief and frustration. Opinion: When police lose support, we lose morale and good people like Larry Henderson Even if you dislike the police as a whole, you should not be actively cheering for the death of individual officers who have sworn to protect and serve the citizens of this city at the risk of their well-being and lives. If you take great joy in the death of Henderson, then the problem isn't with the failure of the police system; it's with you.

A park for the people: Why Owl's Nest Park deserves everyone's support

Cincinnati expands youth events in effort to engage teens and reduce violence
Free skating on the riverfront, open pools and weekly late night recreation center events are all happening for Cincinnati teens this summer. Cincinnati officials announced during a May 14 press conference that events and services would be expanded for youth this summer in an effort to curb crime and violence. Police Chief Teresa Theetge said youth crime is down this year in part due to ongoing efforts of police, the Cincinnati Recreation Commission and other departments that engage with teens. Mayor Aftab Pureval said this summer, efforts are a continuation of that success. From Jan. 1 to May 14, shootings were down over 30% compared to the same period last year. Theetge said the city has seen fewer shooting so far this year than any year dating back to at least 2010. She said the number of car thefts and thefts from cars involving juveniles is also down. More: Dodging youth violence? Late night rec center events draw in hundreds of teens The popular Rec @ Nite program last summer kept two recreation centers in Avondale and West End open late on Saturday nights with extra events like club nights and parties. The center also hosted barbers, video game stations, food trucks and other activities. Last summer, the bigger events rotated between the two centers each week. But this year, both the Lincoln and Hirsch recreation centers will have large events every Saturday for 10 weeks. After Rec @ Nite served 3,000 kids last year, it received the Ohio Parks and Recreation Governor's Award. While the city is still measuring the programs influence on youth violence, ancedotally, police have said the events did have a significant impact. The Cincinnati Parks Department's Sawyer Point Riverfront skating rink has hosted events periodically, but this summer, there will be free skating every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Cincinnati Parks Foundation is even providing free skates. Skate Downtown Cincy is among the community groups helping drive this effort. Cincinnati Recreation Commission Director Daniel Betts said that city's 23 pools and nine spraygrounds will all be open this summer. Camp CRC has also expanded to 19 different sites offering youth programming geared at STEM, STEAM and other activities. Iris Roley, a longtime activist who is now the city's Collaborative Agreement sustainability coordinator, said now more than ever, city leaders are using good problem-solving skills to improve the lives of Cincinnatians. However, she leveled a challenge to all the city's community organizations - from churches and fraternities to coaches and community councils - to help with these efforts. "Our children deserve it," Roley said. "Let's assist."
