Five people were killed and eight others were wounded in a
shooting attack on Monday at a bank in downtown Louisville,
Kentucky, the city’s police department said, Trend reports citing Reuters.
Shortly after confirming the attack, police said the shooter was
dead, without giving further details. It was unclear whether the
death toll of five included the shooter, who police described as
either a current or former employee of the bank.
Police were still trying to determine whether the shooter shot
himself or was shot by police, Paul Humphrey, a Louisville Metro
Police Department deputy chief, told reporters.
Police said they responded within minutes to reports of an
attacker at about 8:30 a.m. (1230 GMT) at a branch of the Old
National Bank, near Slugger Field baseball stadium in the city’s
downtown.
At least two police officers were among the eight wounded; two
of the wounded, including one of the officers, were in critical
condition at a hospital.
