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.
