CINCINNATI -- The investigation into a shooting that killed one person and wounded three others, including two Cincinnati police officers, continued Sunday.

Police said two vice unit officers and some uniformed officers pulled up to JD's Honky Tonk and Emporium in the 2400 block of Spring Grove Avenue just after 7 p.m. Saturday.
Cincinnati Police Chief Tom Streicher said members of the Iron Horsemen Motorcycle Club sitting outside the bar opened fire on the officers.
In the gunfight, two officers and one civilian were wounded. A member of the motorcycle club was shot and killed.
People living near the club's headquarters in California, Ohio, said they've had no issues with the group in the past.

"Never had any kind of trouble. I've been here about seven years," Mike Ash said. "They drive by, they do what they do, we do what we do."
None of the people involved in the shooting have been named so far. Both officers have been released from University Hospital and are recovering at home.
