At least five people have been shot and killed and at least eight others are injured, including a police officer, after a mass shooting in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, on Monday, April 10. Louisville Metro Police responded to what they called “an active aggressor” in the downtown area, just before 9 a.m. There were reports of a shooting at an Old National Bank building next to the Louisville Slugger Field.
Aerial video from the scene shows doors and windows of the bank shattered by gunfire.
When police arrived, there was reportedly a shootout with the suspect. Police believe the suspect had a connection to the bank as an active or former employee. Sources from the scene say two responding police officers were injured, one was shot in the head and is currently undergoing surgery. That officer is listed in critical condition.
Louisville police said the shooter was down and had been neutralized in a tweet following the shooting. The shooter is one of the five people dead.
The Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear spoke at the scene and prayed for all of those involved.
This is a developing story.
