As The Associated Press reports:

A shooting Monday at a bank in downtown Louisville killed at least four people and wounded at least eight others, police said. The suspected lone shooter was also dead.

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.”

Officers exchanged gunfire with the shooter, who appeared to be a former employee of the bank, but it wasn’t clear how he died…

…Humphrey said at least eight people were being treated for wounds, including two police officers. One officer and another of the wounded were in critical condition.

As far as we know, this is not a story that is directly related to Colorado. But from now on, we are going to do our best to note these mass shootings whenever they occur.

There have been 173 mass shootings in the United States in 2023. Today is the 100th day of the year.
