On Friday, a tragic incident unfolded outside a motor vehicle office in Louisville, Kentucky, resulting in the deaths of three individuals. The Louisville Metro Police Department responded to a call around noon and discovered a man deceased, with two women injured in the parking lot. Despite being rushed to the hospital, the two women succumbed to their injuries.
The shooting occurred at a state Driver Licensing Office located on the southern outskirts of Louisville, prompting a swift and extensive police response. Evidence markers were placed on the ground near the building's entrance, indicating the severity of the situation.
According to Police Maj. Donald Boeckman, the shooter fled the scene in a vehicle. Authorities are currently analyzing surveillance footage to gather more information about the perpetrator. Boeckman expressed his shock at the tragedy and noted that there doesn't appear to be an ongoing threat to the public.
At this time, investigators are uncertain about any potential connections between the victims. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear condemned the violence as a 'senseless act' in a social media statement.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, responsible for operating the license office, swiftly implemented security measures to secure the premises following the shooting. All employees were confirmed safe, and thoughts were extended to the victims of the tragic incident. As a precaution, the office was closed for the remainder of the day.
