Louisville mass shooting leaves 2 dead, 4 injured in third shooting this week

Two people were killed and four others injured Saturday night after shots were fired into a crowd of hundreds gathered in a Louisville park — just five miles from where the Old National Bank shooting occurred six days earlier.

The shooting broke out at 9 p.m. in Chickasaw Park, LMPD assistant chief Lt. Paul Humphrey said.

“Hundreds” of people were in the city’s western park when the bullets were fired.

Two people were killed at the park and four others — including one in critical condition — were rushed to the hospital, police said.

Police do not yet know how many shooters were involved and have not released any information regarding suspects.

The mass shooting is the third for the city this week.

On Monday, Old National Bank employee Connor Sturgeon killed five of his coworkers during a senseless rampage at his workplace.

Two people were killed and another was hospitalized after a 4:30 a.m. Saturday shooting in the Old Louisville neighborhood, police said.

“I’m so tired of this. I can’t make any sense of it,” Metro Councilwoman Donna Purvis said Saturday night. “Right now, I’m really at a loss for words.”
