LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville Metro Police responded to a mass shooting at Chickasaw Park around 9 p.m. Saturday night, where shots were fired into a crowd. The tragic event left two dead and four more hurt. The suspect is still unnamed. 

Louisville came together Sunday afternoon to call for a stop to the violence.

Local leaders remarked on the tragic events seen this week. 

“Whether people are killed by gun violence in a mass shooting at a bank, at a mass shooting in a park, at an individual shooting on a street corner, at a church, or a school, or anywhere else, every act of gun violence is tragic and unacceptable,” Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg (D) said.

The Chickasaw Park mass shooting comes just days after the mass shooting at the Old National Bank downtown, where five employees were fatally shot by their coworker. Eight others were injured.

“I just want us to do something different and leverage our power to actually stop this from happening. It takes all of us,” said former Kentucky State Representative Charles Booker (D). 

Kentuckians are coming together to form peace in their community and push for change. 

“We are ready and committed to take on the problem of gun violence in this community,” said Congressman Morgan McGarvey (D), who represents most of the Louisville metro area in Washington.
