Louisville Metro Police Department said at least 5 people are dead and 6 others were hospitalized after a mass shooting downtown Monday morning in the Kentucky city.
"There is no longer an active aggressor threat. The suspected shooter has been neutralized," the department tweeted shortly around 10:15 a.m. local time. The agency later added that the "lone shooter is deceased" and said that five people are deceased while six more were transported to the hospital.
One of the six people transported to the hospital is a police officer, Deputy Chief Col. Paul Humphrey said.
Authorities said they received calls for the shooting around 8:30 a.m. and officers responded within minutes. Officials also said the area is no longer a danger to the public, but they asked people to still avoid the crime scene.
