Police are reporting “multiple casualties” as they respond to a shooting in a bank building in downtown Louisville, Kentucky.
The Louisville Metro Police Department says on Twitter there is an ongoing situation and asks people to avoid the area. “There are multiple casualties,” police say in the tweet. Police describe it as an “active aggressor.”
Witnesses who left the building tell WHAS-TV they heard gunfire inside the building.
Numerous police vehicles are seen on television footage. WHAS reporters say they saw people being taken from the scene in ambulances.
In a tweet, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear says he is heading to the scene.
“Please pray for all of the families impacted and for the city of Louisville,” Beshear says.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
