Authorities said the victims, who range in age from 14 to 61, continue to improve after Saturday's shooting, which investigators believe involved at least two gunmen who were likely firing at each other. Police have not identified a motive or released suspect descriptions as the investigation remains ongoing.

"The Toledo Police Department appreciates the assistance and cooperation received thus far," the department added, noting that no arrests had been made.

"It's just a shame, you know, a few people, for whatever reason, going through their heads, decide to disrupt something that has been a beloved community event for many , many, many years," Heffernan said.

"We had the security in place, just so that something like this wouldn't happen and unfortunately, best laid plans, it happened anyway," he added.

Investigative Lt. Dan Gerken described the violence as unprecedented for the annual festival.

"As far as violence, this is over the top," Gerken said.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said he was confident investigators would identify those responsible for what he described as a "senseless" crime.

"I am deeply concerned about the situation in Toledo tonight," read the Republican governor’s post. " Summer festivals should be safe spaces for families to spend time together without fear of violence."

The mayor said Americans "should never shrug our shoulders" or accept such violence "as the price of living in a free society."

"Toledo is resilient & it will emerge stronger because of the unity we show in this moment – and because of the brave men & women of @Toledo_PD & @ToledoFire, whose swift actions today saved lives. Let’s pray for them tonight as we also pray for our city and country," he wrote.
