CINCINNATI (AP) — A Cincinnati man who had been telling friends about his run in Sunday's Flying Pig marathon was among three people wounded in a drive-by shooting.

Police say they are looking for a person who fired six shots, wounding three people on Monday in the downtown area known as Over-the-Rhine.

Police say 33-year-old Marcus Hawkins had been drinking tea in his regular restaurant and talking about his run shortly before he left and the shooter drove by.

He and two other men were treated for wounds that authorities said were not life-threatening. Police say none of the three recognized the shooter or knew of a motive.

Hawkins had finished the marathon a little more than two hours after the winner.
