The gunman in the Ohio shooting was wearing body armor when he opened fire on patrons at a bar, killing nine and injuring 26 early Sunday morning 'in less than a minute'.

Dayton police said that an active shooter situation began in the Oregon District at 1am, 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. 

Because officers were in the area when the shooting started, they killed the gunman  in 'less than a minute,' authorities said.
