Three dead after shooting outside Louisville driver’s licensing office
Police haven’t identified any suspects
Louisville police are investigating a shooting that left three people dead on Friday.
Officers were called around noon to the scene of the shooting, the parking lot outside a regional driver’s licensing office in the Valley Station neighborhood at 6202 Willlismore Drive.
They encountered a dead man on arrival.
Two women were found with injuries from the shooting and transported to University Hospital, where they later died.
“There are no known suspects,” the Louisville Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement.
The victims have not been publicly identified.
Police believe there is no longer a threat to the public.
"It's absolutely a tragedy and I'm surprised that there wasn't more people injured because many people were standing outside," Major Donald Boeckman told reporters at the scene.
The official added that it’s unclear if there was more than one shooter and said witnesses saw someone flee the scene.
The department’s Homicide Unit will investigate the shooting.
Police are reviewing surveillance footage and canvassing witnesses for information.
The shooting took place outside of the state licensing office, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet told The New York Times.
“We did have security at the office, and locked down the building immediately,” spokesman Allen Blair said. “Employees are leaving and the office will be closed the remainder of the day.”
