A man was taken to a hospital with multiple gunshot wounds after a shooting in the Wyandotte/Oakdale neighborhood of Louisville early Monday morning, said the Louisville Metro Police Department.
Just before 10 a.m., Fourth Division officers responded to reports of gunfire in the 500 block of Denmark Street, just a few blocks south of Churchill Downs and near Semple Elementary School, which was closed for the day. When they arrived, they found a man suffering from several gunshot injuries. Officers acted quickly to administer tourniquets and other life-saving measures until paramedics arrived.
The victim was rushed to the University of Louisville Hospital. The injuries were described by the LMPD officers as not being life-threatening. At the moment, no information regarding the suspect has been announced, and the Non-Fatal Shooting Unit has now taken up the case.
The LMPD appeals to any individual with possible information related to the shooting. You can call the LMPD tip line or dial Crime Stoppers. Your tip can be provided anonymously.
