Four people were killed and three others were wounded in an early Saturday shooting at a home in northern Kentucky, according to police.
The shooting suspect later died after fleeing the home and leading police on a vehicle pursuit that ended with the suspect’s car falling into a ditch.
Police found seven shooting victims when they arrived at a home in Florence around 2:50 a.m., according to Jeff Mallery, the city’s police chief.
Police said four people were found dead. Three people were taken to a hospital in Cincinnati and listed in critical but stable condition.
The suspect led police on a chase on US42 that ended after his vehicle went off Dale Heimbrock Way near Hicks Pike and fell into a ditch. The suspect had a self-inflicted gunshot wound and died at a hospital, according to police.
Police said the suspect acted alone, and there was no ongoing threat to the public.
People had gathered at the home for a birthday party for the 21-year-old son of the homeowner. The homeowner died in the shooting, the police chief said. It appeared the 20-year-old suspect knew people at the party but he had not been invited.
A motive was under investigation.
No further details were not immediately released.
The Florence Police Department is asking anyone with any relevant information to call (859) 371-1234.
