Multiple suspects of another shooting in Louisville, Kentucky are still at large, after another horrific account of gun violence occurred outside Jefferson Community and Technical College.
Out of reverence for those involved in shootings that have occurred today, all campuses will close at 12:00.

The shooting happened around 11:30 am on April 10 at the corner of South 8th Street and West Chestnut Streets, Major Russel Miller of the Louisville Police Department detailed to reporters. However, police have not revealed the names of those injured and killed during the shooting. It was reported that the woman injured had been transported to the University of Louisville Hospital.

At this time, it appears that this incident is unrelated to the shooting that occurred a few hours earlier at a nearby Old National Bank location. The mass shooting left at least four people dead and nine injured.
“This is awful. I have a very close friend that didn’t make it today. And I have another close friend who didn’t, either, and one who is at the hospital that I hope is gonna make it through,” Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said.
“So when we talk about praying, I hope people will. For those that we are hoping can make it through the surgeries that they’re going through.”
