CINCINNATI -- Thursday morning's shooting that left four dead and two wounded in the heart of downtown Cincinnati hit several Reds players hard.
"It's just a terrible tragedy," catcher Tucker Barnhart said before Thursday's game vs. the Padres. "It really hits home."
Barnhart pointed out that players who get called up by the Reds often stay at the Westin Hotel, which overlooks Fountain Square from the south. The shootings took place in a bank-office building on the north side of the site that has served as the focal point for celebrating the Reds' past World Series wins.
