The suspected shooter, who is believed to have acted alone, is also dead.
The shooting in Dayton comes just hours after 20 people were killed and 26 more injured in El Paso, Texas, when a gunman opened fire in a Walmart and around a nearby shopping mall on Saturday.
Lieutenant Colonel Matt Carper of the Dayton Police told reporters the latest mass shooting to hit the U.S. took place at around 1:00 a.m. ET.
Carper said the 16 people who were injured have been hospitalized. Their conditions are unknown.
A spokesperson for the local Miami Valley Hospital, Terrea Little, confirmed to NBC News that the hospital was treating 16 victims.
Reports from local media and eyewitness accounts to NBC News suggest the shooting took place at or near Ned Peppers bar, in the heart of Dayton's Oregon District.
