 Louisville, Ky — Louisville Police are investigating after multiple people were shot Thursday at Shawnee Park. Two people are dead and four people are wounded after the shootings in a crowded and busy Shawnee Park Thursday afternoon. Officers responded to reports of a shooting at the park around 1:51 p.m. Louisville Metro Police spokesman Dwight Mitchell said when officers arrived, they found two black males with gunshot wounds. Facebook video from Stephen Washburn provided to WDRB News captured sounds of at least 19 shots. Fischer was accompanied by security and was not harmed. Advertisement Officials told WLKY that at least seven people were shot, two of whom are confirmed dead. There is no word on suspects and police said they have not made any arrests in the shooting. A spokesperson with the Mayor's Office said Mayor Greg Fischer was at the Juice Bowl when the shooting happened. >> EVERYBODY NEEDS TO LEAVE THE PARK, GET IN YOUR CAR, BIKE, AND LEAVE. "To have people with guns so disrespect life, Shawnee Park, and neighborhood tradition is sad and has no place in our city," Fischer said on his Twitter account, @louisvillemayor. "My thoughts and prayers are with the families of all those impacted by today's violence," Fischer continued. The two deaths Thursday raise Louisville's criminal homicide total to 104 for 2016, according to LMPD. The shooting happened during the annual Juice Bowl Football Tournament, where several hundred people were in the attendance. >> THOSE ON THE FIELD AT SHAWNEE PARK DIDN'T HEAR THE SHOTS AND SCREAMS THAT FOLLOWED.
– The shooting that upended a 60-year-old tradition in Louisville on Thanksgiving may have been sparked by a spat over a motorcycle. Police reportedly believe that during Thursday's Juice Bowl football games, a man in his 60s knocked into the motorcycle of a man in his 20s, who pulled out a gun, reports the Louisville Courier-Journal. After initial shots were fired, police believe bystanders also pulled out guns, a source says. Police say some 20 shots were fired in total. Two men were pronounced dead "at separate scenes in the park," per WDRB. WLKY notes they were found about 150 yards apart. Four others were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. No arrests have been made. Authorities say the initial shooting occurred around 1:30pm about 200 yards away from where hundreds, including Mayor Greg Fischer, had packed Shawnee Park to watch football games. "A guy fell, and I went over to see if I could assist him. And once I got there, I saw his brains were blown out," says a witness. Police have yet to determine if the victims who died fired shots or were in the wrong place at the wrong time. But given the number of people and shots fired, "there could have been more victims," says a police rep. One local official says he hopes "national shame and attention" will now help "stop the bloodletting" in the city. The deaths brought Louisville's murder total for the year to a record 112.
