Violence that was confined to a small area Tuesday spread Wednesday night into several black neighborhoods of Cincinnati as rioters set fires, looted stores and, in one case, shot a Cincinnati police officer.

The police officer was not seriously hurt; the buckle of his gunbelt caught the bullet that was shot at him near Green and Vine streets about 11 p.m., Police Chief Tom Streicher said.

The shooting set off a frantic manhunt through alleys and streets of Over-the-Rhine, as police looked for a gunman described as a black man in his 50s wearing a sleeveless shirt.

Mayor Charlie Luken said just before midnight that a decision to call in the Ohio National Guard will likely be made within 48 hours.
