5 dead, 6 injured including officer: Shooting in downtown Louisville at Old National Bank

Police on Monday confirmed multiple people died after an active shooter entered a bank in downtown Louisville.

Officers responded to the Old National Bank on Main Street around 8:30 a.m. where they encountered active gunshots, Louisville Metro Police Deputy Chief Paul Humphrey said during a media briefing at 10:20 a.m. Five people were confirmed dead and six people were transported to the University of Louisville Hospital, including two LMPD officers.

Two of the victims at the hospital were in critical condition, including one officer who was in surgery, Humphrey said during an 11 a.m. update. The others suffered non-critical injuries.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear immediately came to Louisville after hearing of the shooting. Speaking at the 11 a.m. press conference, he said that one of his close friends was killed during the shooting and another was injured. He urged those impacted to get help.

"Our bodies and our minds are not meant to go through these kinds of tragedies," Beshear said, who teared up when speaking with the media.

The suspected shooter is dead, police said. The identity is not currently known.
