On Friday, three people were shot and killed outside a Louisville, Kentucky, motor vehicle office, in what authorities are calling a “deliberate act.”
The shooting occurred at a driver’s license branch in the 6200 block of Willismore around noon, according to the Louisville Metro Police Department (MPD).
When police arrived, they discovered one man shot dead in the parking lot.
Two women were also found with gunshot wounds and were taken to a nearby hospital, where they died from their injuries, according to the MPD.
Maj. Donald Boeckman of the Louisville Metro Police Department told reporters there was no ongoing threat to the public.
LMPD spokesperson John Bradley later clarified to Fox News Digital that no suspects have been identified, but “there is no indication that this violent act has, or will extend beyond the event that occurred.”
Boeckman stated that the suspect or suspects fled in a vehicle.
He did not provide a description of the vehicle and stated that investigators were still reviewing surveillance video.
“This was a deliberate act, and investigators are working to determine the exact nature of the shooting (i.e., were any of the victims targeted),” Bradley told Fox News Digital. “A clearer picture will (no doubt) come into focus for us as the investigation matures.”
“It’s absolutely a tragedy and I’m surprised there wasn’t more people injured,” Boeckman told reporters.
