Multiple people shot inside Kentucky Kroger near Louisville
JEFFERSONTOWN, Ky. — Police say multiple people have been shot inside a grocery store on the outskirts of Louisville, Kentucky.
A dispatcher with the Jeffersontown Police Department said a suspect was detained following the shooting Wednesday afternoon at a Kroger store.
The store is located on the eastern outskirts of Louisville.
The dispatcher says officers remain at the scene. The extent of injuries isn’t immediately known.
An emergency medical technician who happened to be at the store when gunfire broke out says he saw a woman hit and went to help her but realized there was nothing that could be done.
Eric Deacon told WDRB-TV in Louisville that he heard gunfire and saw two men run out of the Kroger into the parking lot Wednesday, shooting at each other. He said he saw a woman in her mid-50s or early 60s get hit as he was calling 911. Deacon said he went to the woman to start CPR on her but realized he couldn’t help her.
