\nTwo people were killed and four injured when a mass shooting broke out at Shawnee Park in Louisville Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Agents with the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) have joined the investigation into the shooting, which happened as hundreds of people crowded Shawnee Park to celebrate the holiday.<\/p>\n
The four survivors suffered non-life-threatening injuries, according to Louisville Metro Police Department spokesman Dwight Mitchell. Two of them were rushed to a hospital by EMS and two others were taken by private vehicles.<\/p>\n
He could not confirm whether an incident in front of 601 W. Broadway was related. Shortly after the shots were fired at Shawnee Park, officers descended on the 600 block of W. Broadway and put up crime tape around a vehicle that did not appear to have been involved in a crash. A man sitting on the curb told officers, “He’s been shot,” but it was unclear whether someone inside the vehicle had been shot or whether the Broadway incident was somehow related to the Shawnee Park shootings.<\/p>\n
No one has been arrested in connection to the attack. The Louisville Metro Police Department Homicide Unit is investigating.<\/p>\n
Several people reported a mass shooting in the vicinity of 4501 W. Broadway beginning at 1:51 p.m., according to a MetroSafe dispatcher.<\/p>\n
Shawnee Park was filled with people at the time of the shooting, many of them children and parents attending the Juice Bowl, a series of youth football games held annually on Thanksgiving Day. Police blocked off a large portion of the park after the shooting, but a football game continued.<\/p>\n
Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer was a spectator at the Juice Bowl. He said the shootings happened about 150 yards from him. <\/p>\n
Anyone with information about the crime is urged to call the LMPD’s anonymous tip line is 502-574-LMPD (5673).
