Five people have died and at least six others have been wounded, including at least one police officer, in a shooting outside the Old National Bank in Louisville, Kentucky.
Metro police have ‘neutralized’ the gunman at the bank, in the area of the 300 block of East Main Street in the downtown area of the city — located just hours from Nashville, where a gunman recently opened fire at a Christian school and killed six people.
Dispatchers heard on the police scanners have indicated that the shooting occurred on the first floor of the building, which is in front of Louisville Slugger Stadium.
Sources say cops had to force their way into the building, where terrified workers tried to shelter inside a vault.
At least a dozen police cars and three ambulances have responded to the area according to witnesses on social media, and stretchers were seen being rolled onto some ambulances as blood and glass were seen scattered around the ground.
The FBI and Gov. Andy Beshear are now said to be arriving at the scene.
