Kentucky Governor chokes up as he says two ‘close friends’ were killed in Louisville Shooting

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear fought back tears as he told reporters that he had lost two friends in a shooting in downtown Louisville on Monday.

“I have a very close friend that didn’t make it tonight. And I have another close friend who did not either, and one who’s at the hospital but I hope is going to make it through,” Mr Beshear said during a press conference.

Five people, including the gunman, have been killed and at least eight others have been wounded in the shooting that took place at Old National Bank.
