LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A domestic situation apparently prompted the midweek shooting at a condominium complex in an upscale Louisville neighborhood that claimed three lives and left a fourth person badly wounded, police said.
Louisville Metro Police spokesman Dwight Mitchell identified the dead from the shooting Wednesday afternoon as a girl, a 38-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man. He didn’t release their names nor disclose a possible motive in the hours after the shooting.
He added that a woman in her 60s was hospitalized in critical condition after the shooting Wednesday afternoon.
The shooting at the Lakeview Condominum complex located near a neighborhood of upper middle class homes in Louisville is being investigated by a homicide unit, Mitchell said.
He said the suspect apparently was among the dead and police don’t think anyone was “on the loose.” He didn’t identify the suspect but said police had gathered evidence and were interviewing witnesses.
The University of Louisville Hospital, contacted by The Associated Press early today, said it could not release any information on the woman’s condition until she was identified by name.
