LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A shooting at a bank building in downtown Louisville on Monday morning killed 5 people & wounded at least 6 others. The suspected shooter was also dead, police said.
Louisville Metro Police Department Deputy Chief Paul Humphrey told reporters officers who arrived on the scene “encountered active gunshots still being fired inside the location at that time.”
“The shooter was confirmed to be dead on the scene,” Humphrey said. “We do not know exactly the circumstances of his death at this time.”
Witnesses who left the building told Louisville station WHAS-TV they heard gunfire inside the building.
Numerous police vehicles were seen on television footage. WHAS reporters said they saw people being taken from the scene in ambulances.
In a tweet, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said he was heading to the scene.
“Please pray for all of the families impacted & for the city of Louisville,” Beshear said.
The FBI said its agents were also responding to the shooting.
The shooting happened in a building on East Main Street that houses the Old National Bank not far from the Louisville Slugger Field & Waterfront Park.
HOUSTON (Click2Houston) – Bond is set at $1 million for a Houston man accused of fatally shooting a driver.
Lydell Elliott Grant, 46, is charged with murder in the death of Edwin Arevalo, 33.
Arevalo struck a Lexus late Thursday. Investigators said the Lexus driver fatally shot Arevalo before fleeing the scene in his vehicle.
Further investigation identified Grant as the suspect in this case. He was taken into custody Friday by members of the HPD SWAT & Southwest Patrol Division Crime Suppression Teams without incident.
In 2021, Texas’ highest criminal court ruled that Grant was innocent in the fatal stabbing of a man outside a Houston bar in 2010.
The Innocence Project released this statement regarding Grant’s arrest:
"We are saddened by the news of this tragic event & our thoughts & sympathies go out to the victim’s family. As this is an ongoing investigation, we cannot comment on the specifics of this incident.
We stand behind Mr. Grant’s previous exoneration, which was granted by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. DNA evidence & the confession of the real perpetrator of the crime proved Mr. Grant’s actual innocence. His 2012 conviction was proven wrongful & he spent 8 years in prison as a result.
The important work of supporting innocent people wrongly convicted of crimes is an essential part of our collective work towards a better & more just society & we remain committed to that goal."
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — The executive director for a Northern California police union who was charged with attempting to illegally import synthetic opioids from India & other countries has been fired from her job.
Joanne Marian Segovia, who was the executive director of the San Jose Police Officers’ Association, was arrested last week on charges she attempted to unlawfully import valeryl fentanyl, a synthetic opioid. If convicted, she faces up to 20 years in prison.
Starting in 2015, Segovia had dozens of drug shipments mailed to her San Jose home from India, Hong Kong, Hungary & Singapore with manifests listing their contents as “wedding party favors,” “gift makeup,” “chocolate and sweets” & “food supplement,” according to a federal criminal complaint.
Segovia, 64, at times used her work computer to make the orders & at least once used the union’s UPS account to ship the drugs within the country, federal prosecutors said.
“The abhorrent criminal conduct alleged against Ms. Segovia must be the impetus to ensuring our internal controls at the POA are strong & that we enact any changes that could have identified the alleged conduct sooner,” said Sean Pritchard, president of the union.
Federal officials began investigating Segovia last year after finding her name & home address on the cellphone of a suspected drug dealer who is part of a network that ships controlled substances made in India to the San Francisco Bay Area, according to the complaint. That drug trafficking network has distributed hundreds of thousands of pills in 48 states, federal prosecutors said.
2 juveniles were arrested while a third underage suspect remains at large in connection with the shooting deaths of 3 teenagers in Florida.
Christopher Atkins, 12, & Robert Robinson, 17, have been charged with first-degree murder in the killings that happened in less than a 48 hour period between March 30 & April 1 in Ocklawaha.
A third suspect, 16-year-old Tahj Brewton, is still being sought by authorities.
Layla Silvernail, 16, Camille Quarles, 16 & a 17-year-old boy – who has yet to be identified – were all found shot to death in 3 separate locations.
Sheriff Billy Woods revealed Friday that he believes all 3 victims were involved in burglaries & robberies & both the victims & suspects were allegedly "associated with a gang."
"Basically, in simple terms there is no honor among thieves," the sheriff said at a press conference. "And at some point, these 3 individuals turned on our 3 victims & murdered them."
Silvernail was the first victim to be found by investigators just before 11 p.m on March 30 laying on the side of the road suffering from a gunshot wound.
The girl was rushed to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Deputies said the next morning, around 8 a.m., a 17-year-old boy who'd been fatally shot was located on the side of the road. His identity has not been revealed.
Then on April 1, at about 12:30 p.m., investigators found the body of Quarles inside the trunk of Silvernail's abandoned car which was partially submerged near the edge of a small lake. She had also been fatally shot.

A lawyer representing the family of Lance Reddick is disputing a report that the late John Wick & The Wire actor's cause of death was heart disease.
TMZ reported Thursday morning that it had obtained a death certificate listing Reddick's immediate cause of death as as ischemic heart disease as well as atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.
Reddick's longtime attorney James Hornstein said in a statement that "No autopsy was performed on Lance" & that "To my knowledge, no medical examination of Lance during his lifetime ever indicated such conditions."
Hornstein described Reddick as "the most physically fit person I've ever known" & said the actor's lifestyle included daily workouts in his home gym, "extensive cardio work," and a strict diet. He added that Reddick even had "the availability of gym facilities" as a "contractual requirement" when working away from home.
"The information appearing on the death certificate is wholly inconsistent with his lifestyle," Hornstein said. "The coroner statement on the death certificate is not a result of an autopsy. No autopsy was performed on Lance.
Reddick died March 18, at 60. Representatives for the actor said at the time that he "passed away suddenly" from natural causes.
