On the morning after Easter, a mass shooting at the Old National Bank building in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, resulted in five people dead and eight injured, two of whom were critically injured, according to police reports. The shooter was confirmed dead on the scene in what has been called a single gunman event. Police were called to the 300 block of East Main Street and responded to "an active aggressor." One of the victims was a police officer, most likely injured in shots exchanged between the shooter and police. Among the rumors that circulated after the event was a theory that the shooter was a previous employee of the bank.
Governor Andy Beshear expressed his grief and disbelief at the situation, a tragedy that involved friends who lost their lives. Authorities have yet to offer any explanation regarding the shooter's motives. As this story develops, Kentucky's residents are encouraged to keep away from the scene and await further details from relevant authorities.
