A man was shot in the groin in Over-the-Rhine Tuesday afternoon, according to Capt. Michael John.

At least 10 shots were fired from a hand gun, John said.

One witness said it "sounded like a war zone."

The man is expected to recover.

The shooting occurred at about 1:20 p.m. near 12th and Republic streets. Another man told police he thought he had been grazed by a bullet.

A witness told police a black Toyota was seen leaving the scene, heading north on Vine Street. A man with long dreads was spotted in the car, according to emergency communication reports.
