April 10, (THEWILL) – At least five people have died and six others, including a police officer, injured on Monday, in a shooting outside the Old National Bank in Louisville, Kentucky, Metro Police Department confirmed.
Metro police ‘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.
The injured have been transferred to local hospitals after the incident, police added.
Sources say cops had to force their way into the building, where they confronted the gunman in an apparently bloody battle.
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.
