Officers responded to reports of shots fired at Old National Bank around 8:30 a.m. Monday morning, Louisville Metro Police Deputy Chief Paul Humphrey said at a press conference. Within three minutes of being dispatched, officers arrived on scene and encountered the suspected shooter firing shots, Humphrey said.
Officers exchanged gunshots with the suspect, who died at the scene, he said. At least two officers were shot during this exchange, Humphrey said. “We’re trying to confirm if that suspect died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound or was killed by officers at this time,” Humphrey said.
