LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Two people are dead and four others were injured after a shooting at Chickasaw Park on Saturday evening, according to Louisville Metro Police.
LMPD Deputy Chief Paul Humphrey said the call for the shooting originally came in at 1200 Southwestern Parkway at 9 p.m.
LMPD said once they arrived on scene, officers found at least two people who were dead and four other people were taken to University Hospital with injuries. One of the victims that was injured from the shooting was in critical condition as of Saturday night.
"This is not our city," Mayor Craig Greenberg said Saturday night. "This is now who we are. This is not who we want to be."
The conditions of the three other victims is unknown at this time. Police provided medical attention as soon as they could.
Humphrey said hundreds of people were in the park at the time of the shooting and shots were fired into the crowd of people.
"I can't make any sense of it," Metro Councilwoman Donna Purvis said. "I can't understand the rage and the anger of wanting to hurt someone, let alone kill someone and especially in a place that is supposed to be for families to come here for entertainment, in a place that is built for the community."

Some beatification of the 4th Street LIVE area leading up to Derby. We spotted Ivan painting a crosswalk on 4th Street and had to see what was up. Turns out the city has various muralists painting crosswalks at 4 different intersections along 4th Street preparing for the increase of tourism over the Derby Season. He said it would take him several days to complete this mural. Well try and follow up to get some footage of this completed piece as well as the others being painted at the moment. #Louisville #DerbySeason #4thStreetLive #IvanYifanZhoa
Justin Jones calls out the hypocrisy within the Tennessee General Assembly just hours before he was expelled from his seat in the House along with Justin Pearson for participating in a protest with thousands of teens standing up against gun violence. Their colleague, Gloria Johnson, also participated in this activity but was not expelled. Many are concerned about the blatant visuals of expelling two black men and allowing a white person to remain in their seat. #tennessee3 #tnga23 #justinjones #justinpearson #gloriajohnson
Justin Pearson defends his actions in joining in protest with thousands of teens who were calling for 🔥arm reform. This defense was just moments before he was expelled from his seat in the House for these actions along with Justin Jones. A third colleague, Gloria Johnson, also joined the protests but was not expelled from her seat. Many are concerned with the president set by expelling two black men and not expelling a white person for the same offenses. #justinpearson #justinjones #gloriajohnson #tennesee3 #tnga23

FULL VERSION: Representative Pamela Stevenson gives a fiery testimonial calling into question the ACTUAL intentions of #SB170 . Is it actually targeted to protect children? If so, are there not better ways to ensure the safety of children in our state? Good? Water? Healthcare?
