Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley said in a press conference Sunday that Betts was “neutralized” by police officers less than a minute after he began shooting.

“While this is a terribly sad day for our city, I am amazed by the quick response of Dayton police that saved literally hundreds of lives,” she said.

Whaley said Betts was wearing body armor and had several extra magazines for his .223-caliber rifle.

Dayton Assistant Police Chief Lt. Col. Matt Carpe told the press there was “a very short timeline of violence.”

“We're very fortunate for that,” he said. “We had officers in the immediate vicinity when this shooting began and were able to respond and put an end to it quickly.”

The incident occurred less than 24 hours after a mass shooting killed 22 people and injured more than two dozen others at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas.
