Despite wearing body armour, Connor was shot dead by officers who swooped on the are.
Mayor Nan Whaley said if police had not got to the scene within seconds "hundreds" could have been killed.
A witness said he heard at least 50 shots an saw people "trampling over each other", while another man said being five feet away from the shooter was the "scariest moment of his life".
Connor and Megan are the only two children of Stephen and Moira Betts of Bellbrook, Ohio, around 15 miles from downtown Dayton.
Megan was due to start her senior year at Wright State University's Department of Biological Sciences.
