Earlier, Louisville Police and Mayor Craig Greenberg said that there was an “active aggressor” and “active police situation” near Slugger Field, home to the Cincinnati Reds’ Triple-A team the Louisville Bats.
“There is an active police situation downtown. Please avoid the area around Slugger Field until further notice. We will provide information as soon as possible,” Greenberg tweeted.
The FBI in Louisville has also responded to the scene.
“FBI Louisville special agents have responded to the scene of this morning’s shooting in downtown Louisville and are assisting our law enforcement partners,” the FBI said.
