Shooting outside community college in Louisville leaves 1 dead, 1 wounded; suspects at large

Louisville police said the shooting outside the Jefferson Community and Technical College/Technical Campus was unrelated to the earlier shooting at the Old National Bank.

Multiple suspects are believed to be on the loose in Louisville, Kentucky, after a shooting outside a community college left one dead and another wounded on Monday, authorities said.

The shooting happened at 11:30 a.m. at the corner of South 8th Street and West Chestnut Streets outside the Jefferson Community and Technical College/Technical Campus, Maj. Russel Miller of the Louisville Police Department told reporters.

The incident was unrelated to the shooting that occurred hours earlier at an Old National Bank location in the city, Miller said. Five people were killed – including the gunman – and eight others were injured in that incident.
