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.

Republicans will respond to this with their new solution to gun violence.
I'm guessing that the Kentucky legislature will need to find two African American representatives to expel.
I don't know why they can't be defined as mass murders. Seems like shooting is a squishy euphemism for murder.
GGuy I think the definition of mass murder from the FBI is four or more victims killed excluding the shooter. 86% (149 out of 173) of the provided list does not meet that definition.
And yet all those shot and killed are still dead, regardless of whether their demise falls under the FBI definition of "mass murder."
Also the “the 15th mass killing in the country this year,” [4 or more shot & killed w/o counting the shooter]
by my calendar, this is the 15th week of 2023. “The 15 mass shootings this year are the most during the first 100 days of a calendar year since 2009,”
AP had some additional details:
Casualty count at the end of the day … the shooter and 5 others dead. 8 others wounded. 3 already released from the hospital.
