LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - The Louisville Metro Police Department confirmed four people have died from an active shooting in downtown Louisville near Slugger Field on Monday morning.

LMPD and Louisville Metro Mayor Craig Greenberg advised everyone to avoid the 300 block of East Main Street, specifically at Old National Bank.

Calls came around 8:30 a.m. to the Old National Bank on reports of an active shooter in the area, according to MetroSafe dispatchers. The call was changed to an active aggressor report a short time later.

According to LMPD Deputy Chief Paul Humphrey, officers arrived on scene with Louisville Fire and EMS, where active gunshots were being fired.

Around 10:15 a.m., police said there is no longer an active aggressor threat and that “the suspected shooter has been neutralized.”


Humphrey said officers exchanged gunfire with the suspect and the suspect died at the scene. The circumstances leading to the shooter’s death have not been identified.


Police confirmed four people died, and University Hospital confirmed nine total patients were treated following Monday’s shooting. Two of the injured victims have been confirmed as LMPD officers.

There are two injured victims in critical condition as of 1 p.m., including one of the officers.

UofL Health said as of 1 p.m., three of the victims have already been discharged.

Police said the shooter had a connection to the bank, possibly as a prior employee.
